The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 32
(art. 32) of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and
Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as "the
Convention"),
Having regard to the report drawn up on 24 October 1995 by
the European Commission of Human Rights in accordance with Article
31 (art. 31) of the Convention relating to the application lodged
on 22 September 1992 by Ms A. A. against Italy
(Application No. 24166/94);
Whereas on 5 December 1995 the Commission transmitted the
said report to the Committee of Ministers and whereas the case has
not been referred to the European Court of Human Rights, either by
the Commission or by a state entitled to do so under Article 48
(art. 48) of the Convention, within the time-limit of three months
from the transmission of the report to the Chairman of the
Committee of Ministers; considering, however, that within this
time-limit, the applicant seized the Court in accordance with
Protocol No. 9 (P9) but that the screening panel of the Court
decided on 15 May 1996 that this case would not be considered by
the Court; whereas the Committee of Ministers is therefore now
called upon to take a decision in accordance with Article 32
(art. 32) of the Convention and with Article 48 (art. 48) of the
Convention as amended by Article 5 of Protocol No. 9 (P9-5) for
those states having ratified the latter;
Whereas in her application, declared admissible by the
Commission on 4 July 1995, the applicant complained of the
excessive length of certain civil proceedings;
Whereas in its report the Commission expressed, unanimously,
the opinion that there had been a violation of Article 6,
paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the Convention;
Whereas, at the 571st meeting of the Ministers' Deputies held
on 4 September 1996, the Committee of Ministers, agreeing with the
opinion expressed by the Commission, held, having voted in
accordance with the provisions of Article 32, paragraph 1
(art. 32-1), of the Convention, that there had been in this case a
violation of Article 6, paragraph 1 (art. 6-1), of the Convention,
Authorises the publication of the report adopted by the
Commission in this case;
Decides to pursue the examination of the present case in
accordance with Article 32 (art. 32) of the Convention with a view
to adopting the final resolution.
