Turkish Cypriot dailies KIBRIS and HALKIN SESI newspapers (12.06.07) report that the Ministerial Committee which is the decision organ of the Council of Europe has put forward a view similar to the European Court of Human Rights that considers the Immovable Property Compensation Committee in the TRNC as a domestic remedy. The papers report that experts said that the statement by the Ministerial Committee wants to convey the message that Ministerial Committee will not argue the legality of the Compensation Committee, but its effectiveness.
HALKIN SESI adds on the issue:
Law experts, who evaluated the decision of the Ministerial Committee in statements to HALKIN SESI, said that both the decisions of the ECHR and the Ministerial Committee of the Council of Europe regarding the issue stressed that the Property Compensation Commission could not be accepted as illegal only because it has been established by the TRNC Republican Assembly and that the Commission could be accepted as an effective local remedy, in case if is in harmony with the European Conversion on Human Rights.
