According to Article 46 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe has the right to supervise the execution of the ECHR judgments. Let's hope we can make some changes when Macedonia takes over the Chairmanship of the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers on May 11, 2010 to November 2010. Turkey takes over on November 2010 to May 2011. The Committee of Ministers is by majority voting, not concensus.

Article 46 - Binding force and execution of judgments

1 The High Contracting Parties undertake to abide by the final judgment of the Court in any case to which they are parties.

2 The final judgment of the Court shall be transmitted to the Committee of Ministers, which shall supervise its execution.

This makes it even more incredulous of these Western Europeans to toy with the human rights of a bunch of people who are forced to call themselves "Ethnic Bulgarians". BS!

UMD
So you have the Comittee of Ministers as the authority in supervising the execution of the decision, prepared to do nothing! This is astounding - are there any precedents for the execution of rulings/decisions, relating to this type of human rights abuse, that we can refer to in order to compel these clowns to take the appropriate action instead of failing to deliver the appropriate discipline necessary.

Gentlemen,

The E.U is a club that cloaks its racism and intolerance in humanist rhetoric. As an Institution - we need to understand that it has all the characteristics of a typical club.

Hence the power of individual members, its exclusivity and decision making powers to include or exclude.

The U.N on the other hand, is aligned more closely along the principles of democracy, equal representation and equal power among the nations of the world.

The Macedonians are barking up the wrong tree if they think that the E.U club should be our goal. The apologists at UMD who support the negotiations are not helping the matter by encouraging our membership aspirations toward the E.U, rather than directing that wasted energy to overturning FYROM at the U.N. (which can be done legally through its own institutions).

Two different organizations.

It's becomming more & more obvious the EU is a waste of time, given the sacrifices and vetoing we face there, and the legal challenge through the UN would be more usefull to bring the racists to be held accountable - trouble is that the legal path is very slow and expensive1

U.N is a different institution to the E.U. I would say it is more egalitarian, and add to that that the Macedonians have the legal and political advantage at the U.N, one, because U.N articles forbid the U.N from admitting a country by a name that is not its constitutional name, and two, because there already exists a case (in Portugal) where this has happened at the U.N. Portugal WON. My point is that all of this negotiating our identity for E.U membership on the presumption that we are blocked or will from the E.U, is a wild, reckless chase for nothing substantial. Why would we be negotiating our identity to have FYROM overturned at the U.N ? We can legally overturn FYROM at the U.N. without exposing ourselves so stupidly. If the ICJ rule in our favor (and they will), MOST members of the U.N (apart from those Greece can influence) will vote in good consciounce to have us admitted by our constitutional name. Remember there are no VETO powers at the U.N and every nation has an equal vote.
