The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),

Having regard to the final judgment s transmitted by the Court to the Committee in th e s e case s and to the violation s of Article 3 of the Convention established on account of the confinement of the applicants in a metal cage in the courtroom during criminal proceedings against them ;

Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded 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 invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;

Having examined the action plan provided by the government indicating the measures adopted in order to give effect to the judgment including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awa rded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2019)441 );

Considering that the question of individual measures was therefore resolved, given that the applicants’ trials have ended ;

Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings found by the Court in these judgments continue to be examined within the framework of the Svinarenko and Slyadnev group of cases,

DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in th is case as regards the individual measures and
