Strategic issue

What was at stake

Whether Cyprus has taken sufficient measures to prevent new violations and to comply with the Court's judgment, satisfying the right to enforcement of judgments.

Facts

What happened

The applicant, Haghilo, alleged that the Republic of Cyprus had failed to implement sufficient measures to prevent further violations and had not fully complied with a prior European Court of Human Rights judgment, including the payment of awarded compensation.

Key holding

What the court decided

The Court found that the government supplied adequate information about measures to prevent new violations and that the compensation awarded in the judgment had been paid, concluding that the State met its obligations under the judgment.

Reasoning

How the court got there

The Court examined the information provided by the Cypriot government regarding the steps taken to prevent new violations and verified that the compensation ordered in the earlier judgment had been paid. Concluding that these actions satisfied the State’s obligations under the judgment, the Court held that Cyprus had complied with the enforcement requirements.
