Interim Resolution CM/ResDH(2023)268
Execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
Xenides-Arestis and 32 other cases against Turkey
(see the list of cases in the appendix)
(Adopted by the Committee of Ministers on 21 September 2023 at the 1475 th 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 Conventionâ€);
Deeply deploring that to date, despite the interim resolutions adopted in these cases , [1] and the letters sent by the Committee’s Chairperson and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe to the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Türkiye, in 2009, 2014 and 2016, the Turkish authorities have not complied with their unconditional obligation to pay the amounts awarded by the Court to the applicants, on the grounds that this payment cannot be dissociated from the measures of substance in these cases;
Recalling that in its last interim resolution, the Committee declared that this continued refusal by Türkiye 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;
FIRMLY REITERATED its insistence on Türkiye’s unconditional obligation under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention to pay the just satisfaction awarded by the Court;
EXPRESSED PROFOUND CONCERN that prolonged delays in fulfilling this obligation not only deprive the individual victims of compensation for the damages suffered by them, but is also in flagrant disrespect of Türkiye’s international obligations, both as a High Contracting Party to the Convention and as a member State of the Council of Europe;
EXHORTED the Turkish authorities to abide by their obligations and pay the just satisfaction, together with the default interest accrued, without further delay;
DECIDED TO RESUME CONSIDERATION of these cases at its DH meeting in September 2024.
