Proposal for Resolution No 93 /XII

The Protocol No 11 to the Convention on the Safeguard of Human Rights and Freedoms

Fundamental, it was signed in Strasbourg, on May 11, 1994, it was approved for

ratification by the Resolution of the Assembly of the Republic No 21/97 of May 3 and ratified

by the Decree of the President of the Republic No 20/97 of May 3, having the instrument of

ratification was deposited on May 14, 1997, and entered into force on November 1

of 1998.

The said Protocol restructures the control mechanisms of the European Convention of the

Human Rights, replacing the Commission and the European Court of the Rights of the

Man by a single European Court of Human Rights on a permanent basis.

This restructuring made it necessary to establish the privileges and immunities

granted to the judges of the European Court of Human Rights in the exercise of their

functions.

This made, it was deemed necessary to adapt and consolidate, in a single text, of the

Fourth and Fifth Protocols to the General Agreement on the Privileges and Immunities of the

Council of Europe. It was thus drawn up the Sixth Protocol to the General Agreement on the

Privileges and Immunities of the Council of Europe, which it enshrines, in a single document,

the provisions of the Fourth and Fifth Protocols that is applicable to the new Court, such as

established by Protocol No 11 to the said Convention.
