Ambassador Svetlana GELEVA, Permanent Representative of Northern Macedonia, deposited today, in the presence of the Deputy Secretary General Bjørn Berge, the instrument of ratification of Protocol No. 16 to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (CETS No. 214).

The Protocol allows the highest courts and tribunals of a High Contracting Party to request to the European Court of Human Rights an advisory opinion on questions of principles relating to the interpretation or application of the rights and freedoms defined in the Convention or the protocols thereto.

It aims to strengthen the dialogue between the Court and the national authorities, as well as the implementation of the Convention, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity.
