Historique

The overall objective of the EU Advisory Group (EUAG) is to support the Government of the Republic of Armenia in the implementation of its reform agenda and relevant international commitments assumed, including through the implementation of the ENP Action Plan (ENP-AP). The EUAG will achieve these objectives through the continued delivery of an optimal mix of policy, legal and institutional advisory services.
The EUAG is funded by the European Union and implemented by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in Armenia. An Advisory Board jointly chaired by the EU Delegation, the Presidential Administration and the National Security Council staff acts as the supervisory body for the program.

The Ministry of Justice has recently created a new division on the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights within the Department for relations with the European Court of Human Rights. The two main areas of focus for the new division will be the execution of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and implementation of international human rights standards (CoE CPT, UN CAT, SPT and related standards). Within the above mentioned functions in cooperation with relevant national agencies (judiciary, prosecution, etc.) the new division will be responsible for making proposals on legislative amendments and measures needed to bring the Armenian legal system and the practice in conformity with the international human rights standards. The new unit will be supported in its activities by two other units of the department – on civil and economic cases, as well as on criminal and administrative cases.
