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.
