Interim resolution CM/ ResDH ( 2014) 185
Execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
in the cases Varnava , Xenides-Arestis and 32 other cases against Turkey
( see the list of cases in the appendix)
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 25 September 2014
at the 1208th meeting of the Ministers ’ Deputies)
The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter “the Convention”) ;
Deeply deploring that to date, despite the interim resolutions adopted in the cases of Xenides-Arestis and Varnava [1] , the Turkish authorities have not complied with their obligation to pay the amounts awarded by the Court to the applicants in those cases , as well as in 32 other cases in the Xenides-Arestis group , on the grounds that this payment cannot be dissociated from the measures of substance in these cases;
Recalling in this respect that in two letters addressed to their Turkish counterpart [2] , the then Chairmen of the C ommittee of Ministers stressed on behalf of the Committee that the obligation to comply with the judgments of the Court is unconditional;
Found that the continued refusal to pay the sums awarded to the applicants amounts to a manifest breach of the obligation assumed by Turkey under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention to abide by the judgments of the Court;
DECLARES that this continued refusal by Turkey is in flagrant conflict with its international obligations, both as a High Contracting Party to the Convention and as a member State of the Council of Europe;
EXHORTS Turkey to review its position and to pay without any further delay the just satisfaction awarded to the applicants by the Court, as well as the default interest due.
