Resolution CM/ ResDH ( 2013) 256 206 cases against Turkey
Execution of the of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights ( Gençel group)
(See Appendix for the list of cases)
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 5 December 2013
at the 1186th 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, 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 judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations established concerning the right to a fair trial on account of the lack of independence and impartiality of state security courts, and stressing that the Court considered in these judgments that the most appropriate form of redress for this violation would be to ensure that the applicants are granted a retrial by an independent and impartial tribunal (see § 27 in the Gençel case);
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;
Recalling in this respect that the Committee has closely followed the developments regarding the taking of the necessary legislative measures within the context of the Hulki Güneş group of cases (see, in particular the interim resolutions adopted, ResDH (2005)113 , CM/ ResDH (2007)26 and CM/ ResDH (2007)150 );
Having examined the action report provided by the government indicating the measures adopted in order to give effect to the judgments including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2013)1082 );
Welcoming in particular the adoption of the legislative amendment by the Turkish Parliament on 11 April 2013 within the context of the “Fourth Reform Package” and noting that, as a consequence of this amendment, the applicants in the present group of cases may request, if they so wish, the reopening of proceedings in their cases;
Recalling that, as far as the other violations established in the present group of cases are concerned, the Committee closed the examination of issues related to excessive length of detention in police custody and absence of a domestic remedy (violations of Article 5 §§ 3 and 4) within the context of the Sakık and other case (see ResDH (2002)110 ) as well as issues related to the violation of right to freedom of expression on account of convictions under former article 8 of Anti-terrorism Law within the context of the Arslan case (see ResDH (2006)79 );
Noting further in this respect that the Committee is currently examining the issues related to excessive length of proceedings and the lack of an effective remedy within the context of Ormancı and Kaplan group of cases and the issues related to excessive length of detention on remand within the context of Demirel group of cases;
Having satisfied itself that all the measures required by Article 46, paragraph 1, have been adopted,
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases and
DECIDES to close the examination thereof.
