A workshop with the participation of 35 stakeholders, including judges and judicial experts of the Court of Cassation and staff of the Office of the Representative of Armenia on International Legal Matters was organised on 24 and 25 January 2024. This important initiative aimed at enhancing knowledge of the participants on peculiarities of reopening of cases at national level by creating a platform for discussing criteria and common problems in this context, as well as legal certainty and other principles of law, issues regarding the statute of limitations, and possible obstacles of judicial practice during reopening in case of unilateral declaration or friendly settlement.
The workshop provided a very useful level of interaction between the judiciary and the staff of the Office of Representative on International Legal Matters. The invitees also benefited from an open exchange of views with the representatives from the Department for the Execution of the ECtHR Judgments and the Secretariat of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe.
The workshop was organised within the framework of the Project “Support to the effective execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights in Armenia”, funded by Human Rights Trust Fund and implemented in the framework of the Council of Europe Action Plan for Armenia for 2023-2026.
