understood as requiring states to undertake an effective investigation into
arguable claims of the violation of Convention rights. This has included
claims of violations of Articles 2, 3, 5 and 6.

Execution of Court decisions is the responsibility of the Committee of
Ministers.
89
This is a political body, the executive organ of the Council
of Europe,
90
and consists of the Foreign Ministers, or their deputies, of
all the member states.
91
Under article 15 of the Statute of the Council
of Europe, the Committee of Ministers, acting on the recommendation of
the Parliamentary Assembly or on its own initiative, considers the action
required to further the aims of the Council of Europe, including the con-
clusion of conventions or agreements, and the adoption by governments
of a common policy with regard to particular matters. Under article 16
of the Statute, it decides with binding effect all matters relating to the
internal organisation and arrangements of the Council of Europe. Res-
olutions and recommendations on a wide variety of issues are regularly
adopted.
92
The Committee of Ministers performs a variety of functions
with regard to the protection of human rights. For example, in its Dec-
laration on Compliance with Commitments Accepted by Member States
of the Council of Europe, adopted on 10 November 1994, the Committee
decided that it would consider the question of implementation of com-
mitments concerning the situation of democracy, human rights and the
rule of law in any member state which may be referred to it by member
states, the Secretary-General or on the basis of a recommendation of the
Parliamentary Assembly.
Where the Court has found a violation, the matter will be placed on
the agenda of the Committee of Ministers and will stay there until the
respondent government has confirmed that any sum awarded in just sat-
isfaction under article 41 has been paid and/or any required individual
measure has been taken and/or any general measures have been adopted

in the hands of the authorities’,
