The High Level Conference meeting at Izmir on 26 and 27 April 2011 at the initiative of the Turkish Chairmanship of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe (“the Conference”),
1. Recalling the strong commitment of the States Parties to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) and to the control mechanism it established;
2. Expressing its determination to ensure the effectiveness of this mechanism in the short, medium and long terms;
3. Recognising again the extraordinary contribution of the European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”) to the protection of human rights in Europe;
4. Reaffirming the principles set out in the Declaration and Action Plan adopted at the Interlaken High-Level Conference on 19 February 2010 and expressing the resolve to maintain the momentum of the Interlaken process within the agreed timeframe;
5. Recalling that the subsidiary character of the Convention mechanism constitutes a fundamental and transversal principle which both the Court and the States Parties must take into account;
6. Recalling also the shared responsibility of both the Court and the States Parties in guaranteeing the viability of the Convention mechanism;
7. Noting with concern the continuing increase in the number of applications brought before the Court;
8. Considering that the provisions introduced by Protocol No. 14, while their potential remains to be fully exploited and the results so far achieved are encouraging, will not provide a lasting and comprehensive solution to the problems facing the Convention system;
9. Welcoming the ongoing negotiations on the modalities of European Union accession to the Convention;
10. Welcoming the concrete progress achieved following the Interlaken Conference;
11. Considering, however, that maintaining the effectiveness of the mechanism requires further measures, also in the light of the preliminary contribution by the President of the Court to the Conference and the opinion adopted by the Plenary Court for the Conference;
12. Expressing concern that since the Interlaken Conference, the number of interim measures requested in accordance with Rule 39 of the Rules of Court has greatly increased, thus further increasing the workload of the Court;
13. Taking into account that some States Parties have expressed interest in a procedure allowing the highest national courts to request advisory opinions from the Court concerning the interpretation and application of the Convention;
14. Considering, in the light of the above, that it is time to take stock of the progress achieved so far to consider further steps in the pursuit of the Interlaken objectives and to respond to the new concerns and expectations that have become apparent since the Interlaken Conference;
15. Recalling the need to pursue long-term strategic reflections about the future role of the Court in order to ensure sustainable functioning of the Convention mechanism;

1. Proposes, firstly, to take stock, in accordance with the Interlaken Action Plan, of the proposals that do not require amendment of the Convention and, secondly, having also regard to recent developments, to take necessary measures;
2. Welcomes the measures already taken by the Court so far to implement Protocol No.14 and follow up the Interlaken Declaration, including the adoption of a priority policy;
3. Takes note of the fact that the provisions introduced by Protocol No. 14 will not by themselves allow for a balance between incoming cases and output so as to ensure effective treatment of the constantly growing number of applications, and consequently underlines the urgency of adopting further measures;
4. Considers that the admissibility criteria are an essential tool in managing the Court’s caseload and in giving practical effect to the principle of subsidiarity; stresses the importance that they are given full effect by the Court and notes, in this regard, that the new admissibility criterion adopted in Protocol No. 14, which has not yet had the effect intended, is about to be shaped by the upcoming case law and remains to be evaluated with a view to its improvement, and invites the Committee of Ministers to initiate work to reflect on possible ways of rendering the admissibility criteria more effective and on whether it would be advisable to introduce new criteria, with a view to furthering the effectiveness of the Convention mechanism;
5. Reaffirms the importance of a consistent application of the principles of interpretation;
6. Welcomes the recent creation of an Advisory Panel of Experts on Candidates for Election as Judge to the European Court of Human Rights, responsible for examining the candidatures proposed by States Parties before they are transmitted to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe;
7. Invites the Committee of Ministers to continue its reflection on the criteria for office as judge of the Court and on the selection procedures at national and international level, in order to encourage applications by good potential candidates and to ensure a sustainable recruitment of competent judges with relevant experience and the impartiality and quality of the Court;
8. Notes with interest the adoption of a new approach in relation to the supervision of execution of Court judgments by the Committee of Ministers;
9. Adopts the Follow-up Plan below as an instrument, which builds on the Interlaken Action Plan while taking into account recent developments in the Council of Europe, the Court, and the Committee of Ministers as well as the concerns and expectations that have emerged since the Interlaken Conference.

The Conference:
1. Reaffirms the attachment of the States Parties to the right of individual petition as a cornerstone of the Convention mechanism and considers in this context that appropriate measures must be taken rapidly to dissuade clearly inadmissible applications, without, however, preventing well-founded applications from being examined by the Court, and to ensure that cases are dealt with in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity;
2. Reiterates the call made for the consideration of additional measures with regard to access to the Court in the Interlaken Declaration and therefore invites the Committee of Ministers to continue to examine the issue of charging fees to applicants and other possible new procedural rules or practices concerning access to the Court;
3. Welcoming the improvements in the practice of interim measures already put in place by the Court and recalling that the Court is not an immigration Appeals Tribunal or a Court of fourth instance, emphasises that the treatment of requests for interim measures must take place in full conformity with the principle of subsidiarity and that such requests must be based on an assessment of the facts and circumstances in each individual case, followed by a speedy examination of, and ruling on, the merits of the case or of a lead case. In this context, the Conference:
– Stresses the importance of States Parties providing national remedies, where necessary with suspensive effect, which operate effectively and fairly and provide a proper and timely examination of the issue of risk in accordance with the Convention and in light of the Court’s case law; and, while noting that they may challenge interim measures before the Court, reiterates the requirement for States Parties to comply with them;
– Underlines that applicants and their representatives should fully respect the Practice Direction on Requests for Interim Measures for their cases to be considered, and invites the Court to draw the appropriate conclusions if this Direction is not respected;
– Invites the Court, when examining cases related to asylum and immigration, to assess and take full account of the effectiveness of domestic procedures and, where these procedures are seen to operate fairly and with respect for human rights, to avoid intervening except in the most exceptional circumstances;
– Further invites the Court to consider, with the State Parties, how best to combine the practice of interim measures with the principle of subsidiarity, and to take steps, including the consideration of putting in place a system, if appropriate, to trigger expedited consideration, on the basis of a precise and limited timeframe, of the merits of cases, or of a lead case, in which interim measures have been applied;
4. Welcomes the contribution of the Secretary General, which recommends the provision to potential applicants and their legal representatives of objective and comprehensive information on the Convention and the case-law of the Court, in particular on the application procedure and the admissibility criteria, along with the detailed handbook on admissibility and the checklist prepared by the Registry of the Court, in order to avoid, insofar as possible, clearly inadmissible applications;
5. Calls on the Secretary General to implement rapidly, where necessary in co-operation with the European Union, the proposals regarding the provision of information and training contained in the report which he has submitted to the Committee of Ministers.

The Conference:
1. Reiterates calls made in this respect in the Interlaken Declaration and more particularly invites the States Parties to:
a. Ensure that effective domestic remedies exist, be they of a specific nature or a general domestic remedy, providing for a decision on an alleged violation of the Convention and, where necessary, its redress;
b. Co-operate fully with the Committee of Ministers in the framework of the new methods of supervision of execution of judgments of the Court;
c. Ensure that the programmes for professional training of judges, prosecutors and other law enforcement officials as well as members of security forces contain adequate information regarding the well-established case-law of the Court concerning their respective professional fields;
d. Consider contributing to translation into their national language of the Practical Guide on Admissibility Criteria prepared by the Registry of the Court;
e. Consider contributing to the Human Rights Trust Fund.
2. Invites the States Parties to devote all the necessary attention to the preparation of the national reports that they must present by the end of 2011, describing measures taken to implement relevant parts of the Interlaken Declaration and how they intend to address possible shortcomings, in order that these reports provide a solid basis for subsequent improvements at national level.

The Conference:
1. Notes with satisfaction the first encouraging results of the implementation of the new single-judge formation. It nevertheless considers that, beyond measures already taken or under examination, new provisions concerning filtering should be put in place;
2. As regards short term measures, invites the Court to consider and evaluate the system of filtering by judges, of the existing bench who dedicate their working time to single-judge work for a short period, and to continue to explore further possibilities of filtering not requiring amendment to the Convention;
3. As regards long-term measures, invites the Committee of Ministers to continue its reflection on more efficient filtering systems that would, if necessary, require amendments to the Convention. In this context, it recalls that specific proposals for such a filtering mechanism that would require amendments to the Convention have to be prepared by April 2012.

The Conference:
1. Bearing in mind the need for adequate national measures to contribute actively to diminishing the number of applications, invites the Committee of Ministers to reflect on the advisability of introducing a procedure allowing the highest national courts to request advisory opinions from the Court concerning the interpretation and application of the Convention that would help clarify the provisions of the Convention and the Court’s case-law, thus providing further guidance in order to assist States Parties in avoiding future violations;
2. Invites the Court to assist the Committee of Ministers in its consideration of the issue of advisory opinions.

The Conference, whilst reiterating the calls made in the Interlaken Action Plan concerning repetitive applications and noting with satisfaction the first encouraging results of the new competences of committees of three judges:
1. Invites the States Parties to give priority to the resolution of repetitive cases by way of friendly settlements or unilateral declarations where appropriate;
2. Underlines the importance of the active assistance of the Court to States Parties in their efforts to reach friendly settlements and to make unilateral declarations where appropriate and encourages the Court’s role in this respect as well as the need for creating awareness of friendly settlements as an integral part in the Convention for settling disputes between parties to proceedings before the Court;
3. Considers that the Court, when referring to its “well-established case-law” must take account of legislative and factual circumstances and developments in the respondent State;
4. Welcomes the ongoing work of the Committee of Ministers on the elaboration of specific proposals that would require amendment to the Convention, in order to increase the Court’s case-processing capacity, and considers that the proposals made should also enable the Court to adjudicate repetitive cases within a reasonable time;
5. Welcomes the new Rule 61 of the Rules of the Court adopted by the Court on the pilot-judgment procedure.

The Conference:
1. Assures the Court of its full support to realise the Interlaken objectives;
2. Reiterating the calls made in the Interlaken Action Plan and considering that the authority and credibility of the Court constitute a constant focus and concern of the States Parties, invites the Court to:
a. Apply fully, consistently and foreseeably all admissibility criteria and the rules regarding the scope of its jurisdiction, ratione temporis, ratione loci, ratione personae and ratione materiae;
b. Give full effect to the new admissibility criterion in accordance with the principle, according to which the Court is not concerned by trivial matters (de minimis non curat praetor);
c. Confirm in its case law that it is not a fourth-instance court, thus avoiding the re-examination of issues of fact and law decided by national courts;
d. Establish and make public rules foreseeable for all the parties concerning the application of Article 41 of the Convention, including the level of just satisfaction which might be expected in different circumstances;
e. Consider that decisions of the panels of five judges to reject requests for referral of cases to the Grand Chamber are clearly reasoned, thereby avoiding repetitive requests and ensuring better understanding of Chamber judgments;
f. Organise meetings with Government agents on a regular basis so as to further good cooperation;
g. Present to the Committee of Ministers proposals, on a budget-neutral basis, for the creation of a training unit for lawyers and other professionals;
3. Notes with satisfaction the arrangements made within the Registry of the Court that have allowed better management of budgetary and human resources;
4. Welcomes the production by the Court’s Registry of a series of thematic factsheets dealing with different case-law issues and encourages the Court to pursue this work in relation to its case-law on other substantive and procedural provisions which are frequently invoked by applicants;
5. Encourages furthermore the States Parties to second national judges and, where appropriate, other high-level independent lawyers to the Registry of the Court.

The Conference, taking account of the work that has followed the Interlaken Conference at different levels within the Council of Europe, invites the Committee of Ministers to pursue preparatory work for elaboration of a simplified procedure for amending provisions relating to organisational matters, including reflection on the means of its introduction, i.e. a Statute for the Court or a new provision in the Convention.

The Conference:
1. Expects that new standard and enhanced procedures for supervision of the execution of judgments will bear fruit and welcomes the decision of the Committee of Ministers to assess their effectiveness at the end of 2011;
2. Reiterates the calls made by the Interlaken Conference concerning the importance of execution of judgments and invites the Committee of Ministers to apply fully the principle of subsidiarity, by which the States Parties have in particular the choice of means to deploy in order to conform to their obligations under the Convention;
3. Recalls the special role given to the Committee of Ministers in exercising its supervisory function under the Convention and underlines the requirement to carry out its supervision only on the basis of a legal analysis of the Court’s judgments.

The Conference welcomes the progress made in the framework of negotiations on accession of the European Union to the Convention and encourages all the parties to conclude this work in order to transmit to the Committee of Ministers as soon as possible a draft agreement on accession and the proposals on necessary amendments to the Convention.

The Conference:
1. Invites the States Parties, the Committee of Ministers, the Court and the Secretary General to ensure implementation of the present Follow-up Plan, which builds on the Interlaken Action Plan;
2. Invites the Committee of Ministers to:
a. Continue its reflection on the issue of charging fees to applicants, including other possible new procedural rules or practices concerning access to the Court, and on more efficient filtering systems that would, if necessary, require amendments to the Convention;
b. Reflect on the advisability of introducing a procedure allowing the highest national courts to request advisory opinions from the Court;
c. Pursue preparatory work for elaboration of a simplified amendment procedure for provisions relating to organisational matters, including reflection on the means of its introduction, i.e. a Statute for the Court or a new provision in the Convention.
3. Invites the Court to consider and evaluate the system of filtering by judges, of the existing bench who dedicate their working time to single-judge work for a short period, and to continue to explore further possibilities of filtering not requiring amendment to the Convention;
4. As regards Rule 39, expresses its expectation that the implementation of the approach set out in paragraph A3 will lead to a significant reduction in the number of interim measures granted by the Court, and to the speedy resolution of those applications in which they are, exceptionally, applied, with progress achieved within one year. The Committee of Ministers is invited to revert to the question in one year’s time;
5. Invites the States Parties, the Committee of Ministers, the Court and the Secretary General to pursue long-term strategic reflections about the future role of the Court;
6. Invites the Committee of Ministers and the States Parties to consult with civil society during the implementation of the present Follow-up Plan, where appropriate, involving it in long-term strategic reflections about the future role of the Court;
7. Reminds the States Parties of their commitment to submit, by the end of 2011, a report on the measures taken to implement the relevant parts of the Interlaken Declaration and the present Declaration;
8. Invites the Committee of Ministers to confer on the relevant committees of experts the mandates necessary in order that they pursue their work on the implementation of the Interlaken Action Plan in accordance with the calendar defined therein and in the light of the goals set out in the present Declaration;
9. Asks the Turkish Chairmanship to transmit the present Declaration and the Proceedings of the Izmir Conference to the Committee of Ministers;
10. Invites the future Chairmanships to follow-up the implementation of the present Declaration jointly with the Interlaken Declaration.

Na pobudo turškega predsedstva Odboru ministrov Sveta Evrope je v Izmirju 26. in 27. aprila 2011 Konferenca na visoki ravni (v nadaljnjem besedilu: konferenca):
1. ob sklicevanju na trdno zavezanost držav pogodbenic h Konvenciji o varstvu človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin (v nadaljnjem besedilu: konvencija) in mehanizem nadzora, ki ga je vzpostavila;
2. odločena, da zagotovi kratkoročno, srednjeročno in dolgoročno učinkovitost tega mehanizma;
3. ob ponovnem priznavanju izjemnega prispevka Evropskega sodišča za človekove pravice (v nadaljnjem besedilu: Sodišče) k varstvu človekovih pravic v Evropi;
4. ob ponovni potrditvi načel, določenih v deklaraciji in načrtu delovanja, sprejetih na interlakenski konferenci na visoki ravni 19. februarja 2010, ter odločenosti ohraniti zagon interlakenskega procesa znotraj dogovorjenega časovnega okvira;
5. ob sklicevanju na subsidiarni značaj mehanizma konvencije kot temeljnega in splošnega načela, ki ga morajo upoštevati Sodišče in države pogodbenice;
6. ob sklicevanju tudi na skupno odgovornost Sodišča in držav pogodbenic za zagotavljanje delovanja mehanizma konvencije;
7. z zaskrbljenostjo ugotavlja nenehno naraščanje števila pritožb, vloženih na Sodišče;
8. glede na to, da določbe protokola št. 14, katerih potencial bo treba še polno izrabiti in so do zdaj doseženi rezultati spodbudni, ne bodo zagotovile trajne in celovite rešitve problemov, s katerimi se sooča sistem konvencije;
9. ob odobravanju poteka pogajanj o modalitetah pristopa Evropske unije h konvenciji;
10. ob odobravanju konkretnega napredka, ki je bil dosežen po interlakenski konferenci;
11. ker seveda ohranjanje učinkovitosti mehanizma zahteva nadaljnje ukrepe, tudi glede na predhodni prispevek predsednika Sodišča h konferenci in mnenja, ki ga je sprejel plenum Sodišča za konferenco;
12. ob zaskrbljenosti, ker se je po interlakenski konferenci število začasnih ukrepov, zahtevanih v skladu z 39. členom Poslovnika Sodišča, zelo povečalo, kar dodatno povečuje delovno obremenitev Sodišča;
13. ob upoštevanju, da so nekatere države pogodbenice izrazile zanimanje za postopek, ki najvišjim državnim sodiščem omogoča, da zaprosijo Sodišče za svetovalno mnenje glede razlage in uporabe konvencije;
14. glede na zgoraj omenjeno je čas, da se preveri do zdaj doseženi napredek, da bi preučili nadaljnje korake v prizadevanjih za dosego interlakenskih ciljev in se odzvali na nove skrbi in pričakovanja, ki so postali očitni po interlakenski konferenci;
15. ob sklicevanju na potrebo po dolgoročnem strateškem razmisleku o bodoči vlogi Sodišča, da bi zagotovili trajnostno delovanje mehanizma konvencije,

1. predlaga, da se v skladu z interlakenskim načrtom delovanja najprej preučijo predlogi, ki ne zahtevajo sprememb konvencije, nato pa se ob upoštevanju dosedanjega razvoja dogodkov sprejmejo potrebni ukrepi;
2. odobrava ukrepe, ki jih je Sodišče že sprejelo za izvajanje protokola št. 14 in kot odziv na Interlakensko deklaracijo, vključno s sprejetjem politike prednostnih nalog;
3. upošteva dejstvo, da določbe protokola št. 14 same po sebi ne bodo omogočile ravnovesja med prejetimi in rešenimi zadevami tako, da bi zagotavljale učinkovito obravnavo vedno večjega števila pritožb in zato poudarja nujno sprejetje nadaljnjih ukrepov;
4. meni, da so merila sprejemljivosti bistveno orodje pri obravnavi pripada zadev Sodišču in zagotavljanju praktičnega učinka načela subsidiarnosti; poudarja pomen tega, da jim Sodišče daje polno veljavo in v zvezi s tem pripominja, da bo novo merilo sprejemljivosti, ki je bilo sprejeto v protokolu št. 14 in še ne daje nameravanega učinka, oblikovala bodoča sodna praksa in ga bo treba še oceniti glede na izboljšave, ter poziva Odbor ministrov, da začne razmišljati o možnih načinih, kako narediti merila sprejemljivosti učinkovitejša in ali bi bilo priporočljivo uvesti nova merila za nadaljnje povečanje učinkovitosti mehanizma konvencije;
5. ponovno potrjuje pomen dosledne uporabe načel razlage;
6. odobrava nedavno oblikovanje Sveta strokovnjakov za izvolitev kandidatov za sodnika na Evropskem sodišču za človekove pravice, ki bo odgovoren za preučitev kandidatur, ki jih predlagajo države pogodbenice, preden so predložene Parlamentarni skupščini Sveta Evrope;
7. poziva Odbor ministrov, da še naprej obravnava merila za funkcijo sodnika Sodišča ter postopke izbora na državni in mednarodni ravni z namenom spodbuditi in zagotoviti prijave dobrih možnih kandidatov in zagotoviti trajnostno zaposlovanje usposobljenih sodnikov z ustreznimi izkušnjami ter nepristranskost in kakovost Sodišča;
8. se z zanimanjem seznanja s sprejetjem novega pristopa Odbora ministrov v zvezi z nadzorom nad izvrševanjem sodb Sodišča;
9. sprejema spodnji načrt nadaljnjega spremljanja kot instrument, ki nadgrajuje interlakenski načrt delovanja ob upoštevanju dosedanjega razvoja dogodkov v Svetu Evrope, na Sodišču in v Odboru ministrov, kakor tudi skrbi in pričakovanj, nastalih po interlakenski konferenci.

Konferenca:
1. ponovno potrjuje zavezanost držav pogodbenic k pravici posameznika do pritožbe kot bistva mehanizma konvencije in meni, da morajo biti glede na to hitro sprejeti ustrezni ukrepi za odvračanje očitno nesprejemljivih pritožb, ne da bi preprečili Sodišču obravnavanje utemeljenih pritožb, in zagotavljanje obravnave zadev po načelu subsidiarnosti;
2. ponavlja pozive za preučitev dodatnih ukrepov glede dostopa do Sodišča iz Interlakenske deklaracije in zato poziva Odbor ministrov k nadaljnji preučitvi vprašanja zaračunavanja taks pritožnikom in drugih možnih novih postopkovnih pravil ali praks v zvezi z dostopom do Sodišča;
3. ob odobravanju izboljšav v praksi začasnih ukrepov, ki jih je Sodišče že vzpostavilo, in ob upoštevanju, da Sodišče ni pritožbeno sodišče za priseljevanje ali sodišče četrte stopnje, poudarja, da mora obravnavanje zahtev za začasne ukrepe potekati popolnoma skladno z načelom subsidiarnosti in da morajo takšne zahteve temeljiti na oceni dejstev in okoliščin v vsaki posamezni zadevi, ki ji sledi hitra obravnava in odločitev o vsebini zadeve ali o vodilnem primeru. Glede na to konferenca:
– poudarja pomen zagotavljanja notranjih pravnih sredstev držav pogodbenic, po potrebi z odložilnim učinkom, ki so učinkovita in poštena ter zagotavljajo ustrezno in pravočasno obravnavo vprašanja ogroženosti v skladu s konvencijo in glede na sodno prakso Sodišča in, medtem ko ugotavlja, da lahko izpodbijajo začasne ukrepe pred Sodiščem, ponavlja zahtevo, da jih države pogodbenice spoštujejo;
– poudarja, da morajo pritožniki in njihovi zastopniki popolnoma spoštovati Navodilo za prakso pri zahtevah za začasne ukrepe zato, da se njihovi primeri obravnavajo, ter poziva Sodišče, da sprejme ustrezne odločitve, če to navodilo ni spoštovano;
– poziva Sodišče, da naj pri obravnavi zadev v zvezi z azilom in priseljevanjem oceni in v celoti upošteva učinkovitost domačih postopkov in kjer ugotovi, da so ti pošteni in človekove pravice spoštovane, ne posreduje, razen v najbolj izjemnih okoliščinah;
– nadalje poziva Sodišče, da skupaj z državami pogodbenicami razmisli, kako najbolje uskladiti prakso začasnih ukrepov z načelom subsidiarnosti in sprejme ukrepe, po potrebi vključno s preučitvijo vzpostavitve sistema, ki bi v skladu z natančnim in omejenim časovnim okvirom sprožili hitro vsebinsko obravnavo zadeve ali vodilnega primera, pri katerem so bili uporabljeni začasni ukrepi;
4. odobrava prispevek generalnega sekretarja, ki priporoča dajanje objektivnih in izčrpnih informacij potencialnim pritožnikom in njihovim pravnim zastopnikom o konvenciji in sodni praksi Sodišča, zlasti o postopku pritožbe in merilih sprejemljivosti, skupaj s podrobnim priročnikom o sprejemljivosti in kontrolnim listom, ki ju je pripravila Sodna pisarna Sodišča, zato da bi se kar najbolj izognili očitno nesprejemljivim pritožbam;
5. poziva generalnega sekretarja, da po potrebi v sodelovanju z Evropsko unijo hitro uresničuje predloge iz poročila, ki ga je predložil Odboru ministrov glede dajanja informacij in usposabljanja.

Konferenca:
1. ponavlja pozive Interlakenske deklaracije glede tega in zlasti poziva države pogodbenice, da:
a) zagotovijo učinkovita notranja pravna sredstva, specifična ali splošna, ki omogočajo odločanje o domnevni kršitvi konvencije in po potrebi o zadoščenju;
b) v celoti sodelujejo z Odborom ministrov v okviru novih metod nadzora nad izvrševanjem sodb Sodišča;
c) zagotovijo, da programi za strokovno usposabljanje sodnikov, tožilcev in drugih uslužbencev organov pregona ter članov varnostnih sil vsebujejo ustrezne informacije o uveljavljeni sodni praksi Sodišča v zvezi z njihovimi posameznimi strokovnimi področji;
d) razmislijo o prispevku k prevodu Praktičnega vodiča po merilih sprejemljivosti, ki ga je pripravila Sodna pisarna Sodišča, v svoj jezik;
e) razmislijo o prispevku v Skrbniški sklad za človekove pravice.
2. Poziva države pogodbenice, da posvetijo vso potrebno pozornost pripravi nacionalnih poročil, ki jih morajo predložiti do konca leta 2011, z opisom ukrepov, sprejetih za izvajanje ustreznih delov Interlakenske deklaracije, in načina, kako nameravajo obravnavati morebitne pomanjkljivosti, da bodo ta poročila zagotavljala trden temelj poznejšim izboljšavam na državni ravni.

Konferenca:
1. z zadovoljstvom opaža prve spodbudne rezultate uvedbe sodnika posameznika. Vseeno meni, da bi bilo treba poleg ukrepov, ki so bili že sprejeti ali se še preučujejo, uvesti nove določbe glede izbiranja;
2. glede kratkoročnih ukrepov poziva Sodišče, da preuči in oceni sistem izbiranja, ki ga opravljajo sodniki iz obstoječe sestave, ki kratko obdobje svojega delovnega časa namenjajo delu sodnika posameznika, ter še naprej išče nadaljnje mož­nosti izbiranja, ki ne zahtevajo sprememb konvencije;
3. kar zadeva dolgoročne ukrepe, poziva Odbor ministrov k nadaljnjemu razmišljanju o učinkovitejšem sistemu izbiranja, ki bi, če bi bilo potrebno, zahteval spremembe konvencije. Glede na to opozarja, da bi konkretni predlogi za tak mehanizem izbiranja, ki bi zahteval spremembe konvencije, morali biti pripravljeni do aprila 2012.
D. Svetovalna mnenja
Konferenca:
1. ob upoštevanju potrebe po ustreznih državnih ukrepih, ki bi aktivno prispevali k zmanjševanju števila pritožb, poziva Odbor ministrov k razmisleku o presoji, ali je priporočljivo uvesti postopek, ki bi najvišjim državnim sodiščem omogočal, da zaprosijo za svetovalna mnenja Sodišča v zvezi z razlago in uporabo konvencije, ki bi pomagala razjasniti določbe konvencije in sodno prakso Sodišča ter tako ponudila državam pogodbenicam nadaljnje usmeritve kot pomoč pri izogibanju kršitev v prihodnje;
2. poziva Sodišče, da pomaga Odboru ministrov pri obravnavi vprašanja svetovalnih mnenj.

Konferenca ob tem, ko ponavlja pozive interlakenskega načrta delovanja glede ponavljajočih se pritožb in ko z zadovoljstvom opaža prve spodbudne rezultate novih pristojnosti senata treh sodnikov:
1. poziva države pogodbenice, da, kadar je to primerno, pri reševanju ponavljajočih se zadev dajo prednost prijateljskim poravnavam ali enostranskim izjavam;
2. poudarja pomen aktivne pomoči Sodišča državam pogodbenicam v njihovih prizadevanjih za dosego prijateljskih poravnav in oblikovanju enostranskih izjav, kadar je to primerno, in spodbuja vlogo Sodišča pri tem, kakor tudi potrebo po ozaveščanju, da so prijateljske poravnave sestavni del konvencije za reševanje sporov med strankami v postopkih pred Sodiščem;
3. meni, da mora Sodišče pri sklicevanju na svojo »uveljavljeno sodno prakso« upoštevati zakonodajne in dejanske okoliščine ter razvoj dogodkov v toženi državi;
4. odobrava sedanje delo Odbora ministrov glede priprave konkretnih predlogov, ki bi zahtevali spremembe konvencije, zato da se poveča zmogljivost Sodišča glede obravnavanja zadev, in meni, da bi morali dani predlogi tudi omogočati Sodišču, da o ponavljajočih se zadevah odloča v razumnem roku;
5. odobrava novi 61. člen Poslovnika Sodišča, ki ga je Sodišče sprejelo po postopku pilotne sodbe.

Konferenca:
1. zagotavlja Sodišču svojo polno podporo pri uresničevanju interlakenskih ciljev;
2. ob ponavljanju pozivov interlakenskega načrta delovanja in ob upoštevanju, da sta avtoriteta in verodostojnost Sodišča stalno v središču pozornosti ter skrb držav pogodbenic, poziva Sodišče, da:
a) v celoti, dosledno in predvidljivo uporablja vsa merila sprejemljivosti in pravila glede obsega svoje pristojnosti, ratione temporis, ratione loci, ratione personae in ratione materiae;
b) v celoti uveljavi novo merilo sprejemljivosti v skladu z načelom, po katerem se Sodišče ne ukvarja z nepomembnimi zadevami (de minimis non curat praetor);
c) v svoji sodni praksi potrdi, da ni sodišče četrte stopnje in se s tem izogne ponovnemu obravnavanju dejstev in pravnih vprašanj, o katerih so odločila državna sodišča;
d) vzpostavi in javno objavi pravila, predvidljiva za vse pogodbenice, v zvezi z uporabo 41. člena konvencije, vključno z ravnijo pravičnega zadoščenja, ki bi bila lahko pričakovana v drugačnih okoliščinah;
e) preuči, da so odločitve zbora petih sodnikov, da zavrne zahteve za posredovanje zadev velikemu senatu, jasno utemeljene in se s tem izogne ponavljajočim se zahtevam ter zagotovi boljše razumevanje sodb senata;
f) organizira redna srečanja z zastopniki držav za izboljšanje sodelovanja;
g) predloži Odboru ministrov predloge, ki ne vplivajo na proračun, za oblikovanje enote za usposabljanje pravnikov in drugih strokovnjakov;
3. z zadovoljstvom opaža ukrepe Sodne pisarne Sodišča, ki so omogočili boljše upravljanje proračuna in človeških virov;
4. pozdravlja vrsto tematskih informacij, ki jih je izdala Sodna pisarna Sodišča o različnih vprašanjih sodne prakse, ter spodbuja Sodišče, da nadaljuje s tem delom v zvezi s svojo sodno prakso glede drugih materialnih in postopkovnih določb, na katere se pritožniki pogosto sklicujejo;
5. nadalje spodbuja države pogodbenice, da v Sodno pisarno Sodišča dodelijo nacionalne sodnike in, kadar je to primerno, druge neodvisne pravnike na visoki ravni.

Konferenca ob upoštevanju dela, ki je sledilo interlakenski konferenci na različnih ravneh znotraj Sveta Evrope, poziva Odbor ministrov, da nadaljuje pripravljalna dela za oblikovanje poenostavljenega postopka za spremembo določb, ki se nanašajo na organizacijske zadeve, vključno z razmišljanjem o načinu njegove uvedbe, tj. s statutom Sodišča ali novo določbo konvencije.

Konferenca:
1. pričakuje, da bodo novi standardni in izboljšani postopki nadzora nad izvrševanjem sodb obrodili sadove in pozdravlja odločitev Odbora ministrov, da oceni njihovo učinkovitost ob koncu leta 2011;
2. ponavlja pozive interlakenske konference glede pomena izvrševanja sodb in poziva Odbor ministrov, da v celoti uporablja načelo subsidiarnosti, po katerem imajo države pogodbenice še zlasti možnost izbire sredstev, ki jih lahko uporabijo za izpolnjevanje svojih obveznosti po konvenciji;
3. se sklicuje na posebno vlogo, ki je bila dodeljena Odboru ministrov pri izvrševanju njegove nadzorne funkcije po konvenciji in poudarja zahtevo, da izvaja svoj nadzor samo na podlagi pravne analize sodb Sodišča.

Konferenca pozdravlja napredek, ki je bil narejen v okviru pogajanj o pristopu Evropske unije h konvenciji, in spodbuja vse pogodbenice, da to delo zaključijo, da bi Odboru ministrov čim prej predali osnutek sporazuma o pristopu ter predloge o potrebnih spremembah konvencije.

Konferenca:
1. poziva države pogodbenice, Odbor ministrov, Sodišče in generalnega sekretarja, da zagotovijo uveljavitev tega načrta nadaljnjega spremljanja, ki nadgrajuje interlakenski načrt delovanja;
2. poziva Odbor ministrov k:
a) nadaljnjim razmišljanjem glede zaračunavanja taks pritožnikom, vključno z drugimi možnimi novimi postopkovnimi pravili ali praksami v zvezi z dostopom do Sodišča, in učinkovitejšega sistema izbiranja, ki bi, če bi bilo potrebno, zahteval spremembe konvencije;
b) razmisleku o priporočljivosti uvedbe postopka, ki bi najvišjim državnim sodiščem omogočal, da zaprosijo za svetovalna mnenja Sodišča;
c) nadaljevanju priprav za oblikovanje poenostavljenega postopka za spremembo določb, ki se nanašajo na organizacijske zadeve, vključno z razmišljanjem o načinu njegove uvedbe, tj. s statutom Sodišča ali novo določbo konvencije;
3. poziva Sodišče, da preuči in oceni sistem izbiranja, ki ga opravljajo sodniki iz obstoječe sestave, ki kratko obdobje svojega delovnega časa namenjajo delu sodnika posameznika, ter še naprej išče nadaljnje možnosti izbiranja, ki ne zahtevajo sprememb konvencije;
4. v zvezi z 39. členom izraža svoje pričakovanje, da bo izvajanje pristopa iz odstavka A. 3 prispevalo k bistvenemu zmanjšanju števila začasnih ukrepov, ki jih odobri Sodišče, ter hitremu reševanju tistih pritožb, v katerih so izjemoma uporabljeni, in da bo napredek dosežen v enem letu. Poziva Odbor ministrov, da se po enem letu ponovno vrne na to vprašanje;
5. poziva države pogodbenice, Odbor ministrov, Sodišče in generalnega sekretarja k nadaljevanju dolgoročnega strateškega razmisleka o bodoči vlogi Sodišča;
6. poziva Odbor ministrov in države pogodbenice, da se med izvajanjem tega načrta nadaljnjega spremljanja po potrebi posvetujejo s civilno družbo o njeni vključitvi v dolgoročni strateški razmislek o bodoči vlogi Sodišča;
7. opominja države pogodbenice na njihovo zavezo, da do konca leta 2011 predložijo poročilo o sprejetih ukrepih za izvajanje ustreznih delov Interlakenske in te deklaracije;
8. poziva Odbor ministrov, da ustreznim odborom strokovnjakov poveri mandate, potrebne za nadaljevanje njihovega dela pri izvajanju interlakenskega načrta delovanja v skladu z v njem opredeljenim koledarjem in cilji, določenimi v tej deklaraciji;
9. zaproša turško predsedstvo, da to deklaracijo in zapis izmirske konference predloži Odboru ministrov;
10. poziva prihodnja predsedstva k spremljanju izvajanja te deklaracije skupaj z Interlakensko deklaracijo.
