EIN Guide: How to write a Rule 9.2? (December 2019)

EIN has produced a concise guide to help NGOs and NHRIs engage effectively in the Committee of Ministers’ supervision of the execution of Strasbourg Court judgments by means of Rule 9s. It explains that implementation is a dialogue, and sets out how NGOs and NHRIs can add their voice to this dialogue.

The guide also features a handy template for a Rule 9 submission, which you may want to use to structure your own submission. This is a “living document” and will be updated as needed. It should be read in conjunction with the EIN Handbook about implementation of ECtHR judgments (see below). Please share your experience using this guide by giving feedback on anything in it that could be improved.

To use the template for Rule 9 submissions, you can also download the document in Word format here. This Guide now exists in French, Romanian and Azerbaijani. We would like to thank our member in Romania, APADOR-CH, for co-ordinating the translation work into Romanian, and Emin Aslan for his translation of the document in Azerbaijani.
