37 cases against Italy

(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 16 September 2021

at the 1411 th meeting of the Ministers’ Deputies)

The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of former Article 32 and those of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter “the Convention”),

Having regard to its decisions adopted under former Article 32 of the Convention and to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in the cases listed below and the violations established of Article 6, paragraph 1, of the Convention on account of the excessive length of administrative proceedings;

Recalling the obligation of the respondent State to abide by the decisions adopted under former Article 32 of the Convention as well as its obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party; recalling also that these obligations entail, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Committee or by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:

- of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum ; and

- of general measures preventing similar violations;

Having examined the information provided by the government indicating the individual measures adopted (see document DH-DD(2021)709 ) and the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court or the Committee;

Considering that the question of individual measures was resolved in these cases, given that the just satisfaction, when awarded, has been paid to the applicants and the domestic proceedings at issue have been completed;

Recalling that the question of general measures required to guarantee non-repetition of the violations found continues to be examined within the framework of the case of Abenavoli v. Italy and that the closure of the cases listed below therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures;

DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under former Article 32 and under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in the cases listed below as regards the individual measures and

DECIDES to close the examination of these cases.
