From 1 August 2023 to 1 April 2024, the European Institute of Romania (EIR) is implementing a Grant Agreement signed with the Council of Europe.
The Council of Europe is implementing 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 aims 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 will continue to support this process through the grant, thus facilitating the translation of the HUDOC interface and the relevant case law of the ECtHR into Romanian.
