Meeting of Ministers of Justice on the European human rights system: speech of Secretary General

The Danish Government made clear from the outset of its Chairmanship that strengthening our Convention system would be a priority.

And I thank them for that.

I was equally clear from the beginning of my first mandate that strengthening that system – and the European Court of Human Rights – would be a priority for me.

The current reform process began at Interlaken, with milestones at Izmir, Brighton and Brussels.

It was agreed that the Committee of Ministers would take stock of our progress by the end of 2019 and decide how to move ahead.

And here in Copenhagen we have the opportunity to consider what has been achieved so far, and the challenges that remain.

Certainly, the progress to date has been impressive.
