Between 1 August 2023 and 1 April 2024, the European Institute of Romania (EIR) implemented a Grant Agreement signed with the Council of Europe.
The Council of Europe implemented the TJENI project (“Foster transparency of judicial decisions and enhancing the national implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)”) funded by the EEA and Norway Grants Fund for Regional Cooperation. The TJENI project aimed to improve the transparency and consistency of national judicial decisions and to foster exchanges on the most up-to-date information on human rights issues. The accessibility of case law in local languages is a key issue in the effort to better identify human rights issues at the national level.
In order to facilitate access to the ECHR case law at the national level, a Memorandum of Agreement on the development of a Romanian HUDOC user interface was concluded with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in March 2023 and the EIR started the translation of the HUDOC interface as defined in the Memorandum. The TJENI project supported this process through the grant, thus facilitating the translation of the HUDOC interface and the relevant case law of the ECtHR into Romanian.
By translating the relevant ECHR case law and the HUDOC interface into Romanian, the EIR is contributing to the implementation of Recommendation CM/Rec(2021)4 of the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe to member states on the publication and dissemination of the European Convention on Human Rights, the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and other relevant texts.
Here you can access the Romanian user interface of the HUDOC database.
