Judges, penitentiary authorities and ministry officials met in Strasbourg on 8 and 9 July 2014 to discuss the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights concerning conditions of detention.

The round table focused on the effective preventive and compensatory domestic remedies which should be in place to challenge conditions of detention and the interaction between two remedies. It aimed at exchanging experience among member states together with different Council of Europe experts and at identifying good practices with regard to the setting up and the implementation of such remedies.

The round table was organised in the framework of the HRTF 18 Project on the implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights concerning conditions of detention and effective remedies to challenge these conditions, financed by the Human Rights Trust Fund.
