The Committee of Ministers, under the terms of Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, which provides that the Committee supervises the execution of final judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter “the Convention” and “the Court”),
 
Having regard to the final judgments transmitted by the Court to the Committee in these cases and to the violations established on account of poor living, reception and detention conditions in 2018-2020 of the unaccompanied minors who were asylum seekers (violations of Article 3), as well as violations the applicants’ right to liberty due to their placement in “protective custody” in 2019-2020, and the lack of a remedy to challenge the lawfulness of their detention (violations of Article 5 §§ 1 and 4);
 
Recalling the respondent State’s obligation, under Article 46, paragraph 1, of the Convention, to abide by all final judgments in cases to which it has been a party and that this obligation entails, over and above the payment of any sums awarded by the Court, the adoption by the authorities of the respondent State, where required:
 
-          of individual measures to put an end to violations established and erase their consequences so as to achieve as far as possible restitutio in integrum; and
-          of general measures preventing similar violations;
 
Having invited the government of the respondent State to inform the Committee of the measures taken to comply with the above-mentioned obligation;
 
Having examined the action report provided by the government indicating the measures adopted in order to give effect to the judgments including the information provided regarding the payment of the just satisfaction awarded by the Court (see document DH-DD(2025)1035);
 
Having further examined the communication made under Rule 9.2 by the AIRE Centre and the Greek Council for Refugees together with the reply from the authorities (DH-DD(2025)1442);
 
Recalling that the Committee examined the execution of the leading Rahimi group of cases during its 1475th meeting (19-21 September 2023) (DH) and welcomed the positive developments to prevent similar violations related to the detention, reception and protection of unaccompanied minors as had been identified by the Court (including the legislative measures abolishing the “protective custody” of unaccompanied minors in December 2020, the establishment of the Special Secretariat for the Protection of the Unaccompanied Minors, and the setting up of the National Emergency Response Mechanism for the Protection of Unaccompanied Minors which enhanced their reception and protection at domestic level) and therefore decided to close its supervision of the Rahimi group (see Final Resolution CM/ResDH(2023)259);
 
Noting that the facts of these judgments (2018-2020) predate the measures adopted in response to the Rahimi group of cases (from December 2020 onwards);
 
Recalling that the question of general measures required in response to the shortcomings identified by the Court in the judgment N.N. and Others concerning the age assessment process continues to be examined within the context of the T.K. v. Greece case, and that the closure of this case therefore in no way prejudges the Committee’s evaluation of the general measures in relation to that problem;
 
Having satisfied itself that all the measures required by Article 46, paragraph 1, have been adopted,
 
DECLARES that it has exercised its functions under Article 46, paragraph 2, of the Convention in these cases and
 
DECIDES to close the examination thereof.
