The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 54 (art. 54) of

the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental

Freedoms (hereinafter referred to as "the convention"),

Having regard to the judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in

the Olsson case, delivered on 24 March 1988 and transmitted the same

day to the Committee of Ministers;

Recalling that the case originated in an application against the

Kingdom of Sweden lodged with the European Commission of Human Rights

on 10 June 1983 under Article 25 (art. 25) of the convention by

Mr Stig and Mrs Gun Olsson, Swedish citizens, who made a number of

complaints relating to the taking into public care of three of their

children and the children's subsequent placement, alleging the

violation of Article 8 (art. 8) of the convention as well as of

Articles 3, 6, 13 and 14 (art. 3, art. 6, art. 13, art. 14) and

of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1 (P1-2);

Recalling that the case was brought before the Court by the Commission

on 13 March 1987 and by the Government of Sweden on 13 April 1987;

Whereas in its judgment of 24 March 1988 the Court:

- held, by ten votes to five, that the decision to take the children

into care and its maintenance in force did not give rise to a

violation of Article 8 (art. 8) of the convention;

- held, by twelve votes to three, that there had been a violation of

Article 8 (art. 8) on account of the manner in which the said decision was

implemented;

- held unanimously that there had been no violation of Article 6

(art. 6) of the convention;

- held unanimously that there had been no violation of Article 3

(art. 3) of the convention, of Article 14 of the convention, taken

together with Article 8 (art. 14+8), of Article 2 of Protocol No. 1

(P1-2), or of Article 13 of the convention, taken together with

the said Article 2 (art. 13+P1-2);

- held unanimously that Sweden was to pay to the applicants together,

for non-pecuniary damage, 200 000 Swedish crowns and, for legal fees

and expenses, 150 000 Swedish crowns;

- rejected unanimously the remainder of the claim for just

satisfaction;

Having regard to the Rules adopted by the Committee of Ministers

concerning the application of Article 54 (art. 54) of the convention;

Having invited the Government of Sweden to inform it of the measures

which had been taken in consequence of the judgment, having regard to

its obligation under Article 53 (art. 53) of the convention to abide

by it;

Having satisfied itself that the Government of Sweden has paid to the

applicants the sums provided for in the judgment,

Declares that it has exercised its functions under Article 54

(art. 54) of the convention in this case.
