Acts of European institutions, which are not rulings of the European
Court of Human Rights, but, from a strategic point of view, are related
to important cases on the European Convention, taken by the Bulgarian
Lawyers for Human Rights.
Thus, for example, Resolution
Res DH (2000)109 on the ruling of the European Court of
Human Rights from October 28, 1998 on case Asenov and others against
Bulgaria, adopted by the Council of Ministers on October 2, 2000, contains
important information about the effect of the European Court's decisions
on the criminal judicial process in Bulgaria. The resolution contains
information about the measures taken by the state for rendering Bulgarian
legislation and practice, in the corresponding sphere, compliant to
the standards set by the European Convention and the practice of the
Court in Strasbourg.
Another important Act is the Report
of the European Commission of Human Rights, adopted on
July 9, 1997, concerning the amicable settlement reached on the application
of M.M. against Bulgaria. In this case serious problems in the Bulgarian
family law and practice are revealed; problems especially related to
the exercising of parental rights after divorce.
As we can see, the word here is about acts that on one hand reveal drawbacks
of the Bulgarian judicial system, and on the other--the importance of
the European Convention of Human Rights and its influence on Bulgarian
legislation.
