Information provided by the Government of Hungary during the examination of the APEH Üldözötteinek Szövetsége , Iványi , Róth and Szerdahelyi case by the Committee of Minist ers

In view of their obligation to abide by the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (Article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights), the Hungarian authorities have taken the following measures. In order to draw the attention of the public and the authorities to the requirements of the Convention highlighted in this judgment, the latter has been rapidly translated into Hungarian and published in the official gazette “Decisions of the Court” (2000/12. edition) and in the “ Fundamentum ” Human Rights periodical (2000/4. edition). The judgment and the decision on the admissibility have also been made available in Hungarian on the official Internet site of the Ministry of Justice ( http://www.im.hu/magyar/emberi-jogok/32367-96-2.htm ). Furthermore, the Hungarian authorities have invited the Office of the National Council of Justice of Hungary to include the judgment in the curriculum for the training of judges. In the light of the direct effect accorded to the European Convention of Human Rights and the judgments of the Court in Hungarian law, the Government considers that these measures prevent the risk of new violations of the Convention similar to that found in this case. Moreover, the government notes that the proceedings at the origin of this case do not prevent the applicants from requesting anew the registration of their association, in fair proceedings. Consequently, the government considers that Hungary has, in this case, fulfilled its obligations under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention.
