IMPLEMENTATION OF JUDGEMENTS OF THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN ALBANIA

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present an overview of execution of court decisions in the Republic of Albania, seeing in the light of decisions which are given by the European Court of Human Rights. Many countries in the world have as their main goal strengthening of the rule of law. Albania, as a democratic and social country, has the responsibility of guaranteeing basic human rights and freedoms and is committed to the protection of human dignity and personality. The European Convention of Human Rights is the core concept of building governance and democracy, which has as its main goal the protection of human rights. This paper will analyze the implementation of ECtHR decisions in the Albanian Judicial System with a focus on the criminal system. The effective execution of the final decisions of the European Court of Human Rights is one of the main commitments of the High Contracting Parties, which through the ratification of the European Convention on Human Rights and its additional protocols, have the obligation to respect the decisions of the ECHR in any case where they are a party. This paper brings attention to the process of executing the final decision, which remains a complicated process, influenced by the social, economic and political situation of the contracting states and the mechanisms that serve to eliminate obstacles and difficulties, making it possible to execute final decisions in the most effective way
