The Methodology for monitoring of Ukrainian courts’ judgements on their application of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) was developed by the OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine (PCU) within its “Safeguarding Human Rights through Courts” project. The project’s two-fold objective was to strengthen civil society’s capacity to monitor the application of human rights protection legal instruments in court judgements and to establish a baseline and evaluate the progress in application of the ECHR and the case-law of the ECtHR by PCU-trained judges. PCU’s Implementing Partner – “Institute of Applied Humanitarian Research” – used the developed methodology to pilot the monitoring of judgements during 2015-2016. The analysis of monitoring findings will be made available in a separate report in November 2017.
