On November 19th, 2021, EIN held its General Assembly in Strasbourg. This assembly was a hybrid event, allowing people to meet in person or join online.

The day began with EIN’s Chair, Başak Çalı, who opened the assembly, welcomed members and presented EIN activities and their impact on the implementation of the judgments of the ECtHR. EIN’s Director, George Stafford then outlined the external evaluation and draft EIN strategy for 2022-2025. This was followed by a lively discussion about EIN’s strategy and the most effective way for civil society to promote the full and timely implementation of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.

Breakout sessions in small groups enabled members to have fruitful discussions and bring crucial feedback about various parts of the EIN strategy .

The General Assembly was also the opportunity for a partial renewal of the EIN Board. EIN now counts a Board of 11 members, including 5 women and 6 men. Congratulations to all newly elected members!

The second session of the General Assembly began with the Adoption of a resolution about EIN financial reserves, presented by Krassimir Kanev, EIN Treasurer.

Members also voted on a revised version of EIN’s Founding Statute. This change will allow for more continuity in the governance bodies.

EIN’s Chair, Başak Çalı, closed the General Assembly and provided closing remarks to all members who joined the sessions.

 We thank all those who joined the General Assembly in person and online. Thank you for your continued support and hard work in advocating for the full and effective implementation of European Court of Human Rights judgments.
