The Open Society Justice Initiative, jointly with other human rights groups, presented comments on the measures needed to strengthen implementation of European Court of Human Rights judgments, in a submission to the Council of Europe ad hoc Working Party on Reform of the European Convention System.

The  comments to the Committee of Ministers Working Party on Reform of the European Convention System, delivered on December 11, 2015, analyse the measures that need to be taken under Chapter C of the Brussels Declaration and Action Plan on Implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights, agreed by Council of Europe Member States in March 2015.

They recommend, among other things, that where a state fails to fully execute a judgment, a greater variety of graduated measures should be identified, sequenced, and applied, inlcuding, if necessary, infringement proceedings.
