Back Webinar on the “Execution of the European Court of Human Rights judgments and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine”

Webinar on the “Execution of the European Court of Human Rights judgments and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine”

On 10-11 February, the Execution Department organised a webinar for the legal staff of the Registry of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine. The aim of the webinar was to share knowledge and to allow the Registry to gain a deeper understanding of the work of the Committee of Ministers and the supervision process as a whole. It focussed on the key role of Constitutional Courts in both the implementation of the European Court’s judgments and human rights protection at the domestic level. The webinar followed a number of previous meetings between the Council of Europe and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine on matters related to execution of the European Court’s judgments, most recently during a visit of a high level delegation of the Council of Europe to Ukraine in November 2021.

The first day included a presentation from the Registry of the European Court as well as an overview of the practice and procedures of the Committee of Ministers, the Ukrainian cases pending and a presentation on the key tools to access Council of Europe resources.  The second day was dedicated to in-depth discussions on common issues which are or have been on the agenda of both the Committee of Ministers and the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (non-enforcement of domestic judgments (Zhovner/Ivanov/Burmych v. Ukraine group of cases), judicial and prosecutorial independence (Oleksandr Volkov v. Ukraine group and Lutsenko/Tymoshenko v. Ukraine cases), liberty of movement (Ignatov v. Ukraine group) and life imprisonment without a review possibility (Petukhov No. 2 v. Ukraine group)).
