Abstract

The system established by the European Convention on Human Rights, including execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, has made an extraordinary contribution to the protection and promotion of human rights in Europe. Thus, while the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe continues to supervise the execution of thousands of judgments of the European Court, it has at the same time closed its supervision in respect of even more cases because thousands of the human rights problems previously raised under the Convention are now considered to have been resolved. While suggesting that the system of execution of judgments of the European Court works effectively, this paper would allow the reader to assess its effectiveness by looking at the execution statistics through the prism of the presented knowledge of the actors of the execution process, its content and the procedure of supervision by the Committee of Ministers.
