Information on national selection procedure for the position of a judge of the European Court of Human Rights

In accordance with the Law on Government and in line with Article 22 of the European Convention of Human Rights, on 23 February 2016 the Government of the Republic of Macedonia decided (Decision No. 42-1963/1) to establish a Commission for selection of candidates from the Republic of Macedonia for the position of judge in the European Court of Human Rights.

The Commission was composed of Mr. Nikola Poposki, Minister of Foreign Affairs - Chairman and the following members: Ms. Vangelina Markudova, Judge of the Constitutional Court of the Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Zoran Karadzovski, member of the Judicial Council of the Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Zoran Sulejmanov, PhD, member of the Council of Public Prosecutors of the Republic of Macedonia, Mr. Ilija Ristovski, State Secretary at the Ministry of Justice and Iber Sela PhD, professor at the Faculty of Law at University of Tetovo.

In the mentioned Decision No. 42-1963/1 of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, this Commission has a full mandate to carry out the procedure for selection of three candidates for the subsequent election of a judge to the European Court of Human Rights, but also to share the names of the three candidates with the Advisory panel.

The Commission carried out a procedure for selection of three candidates in accordance with the Rules of Procedure adopted at the first meeting of the Commission held on 11 March 2016.

Pursuant to Article 6 of the Committee’s Rules of Procedure, a public call was issued on 16 March 2016 in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Macedonia No. 51/16, daily newspapers “Dnevnik”, “Nova Makedonija” and “Lajm”, as well as on the websites of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Justice, Supreme Court of the Republic of Macedonia, Constitutional Court of the Republic of Macedonia, Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Republic of Macedonia and the Judicial Council of the Republic of Macedonia.

The public call was prepared in accordance with Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 1646 (2009), Recommendation 1649 (2004) and other documents of the Council of Europe relevant for national procedures for selection of candidates for judges at the European Court of Human Rights, as well as criteria for office contained in paragraph 1 of Article 21 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The public call set the minimum criteria to be met by candidates:

- Must enjoy high moral reputation;

- Must either possess the qualifications required for appointment to high judicial office or be jurisconsults of recognised competence (minimum of 12 years of adequate experience);

- Must be less than 65 years of age;

- Must have experience in the field of human rights;

- Must have active knowledge of one, and passive knowledge of the other official language of the Council of Europe (English and French);

A model curriculum vitae was also attached to the public call in accordance with Resolution 1646 (2009) of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe which the candidates were required to fill out in the Macedonian language and also in one of the two official languages (English or French).

The public call lasted 15 days since its publication date, up to and including 31 March 2016. After the application deadline, the Commission carried out a preliminary selection.

The Commission ascertained that based on the issued public call a total of 12 (twelve) applications were received. Pursuant to Article 7 of the Rules of Procedure, the Commission then individually reviewed each of the submitted applications, in order to determine the fulfilment of the minimum requirements, the completeness of documents and timely submission.

The Commission assessed whether applicants met the minimum requirements in accordance with the Committee’s Rules of Procedure as follows:

• The requirement that candidates enjoy high moral reputation was verified by securing oral and written references from corresponding associations, chambers and other professional bodies the candidates belong to (depending on whether it is a candidate with experience as a judge, public prosecutor, lawyer, professor etc.);
• The requirement that candidates possess the qualifications required for appointment to high judicial office or be jurisconsults of recognised competence was verified by performing insight into the corresponding work experience which must not be less than 12 years in the respective profession;
• The requirement that candidates are younger than 65 was verified by checking their personal documents;
• The requirement that candidates have experience in the field of human rights was verified through insight in submitted curriculum vitae of candidates;
• The requirement that candidates have active knowledge of one, and passive knowledge of the other official language of the Council of Europe (English and French) was verified through insight into the submitted curriculum vitae and the candidates’ motivation letters. Additionally, a part of the interview was executed in one of the official language of the Council of Europe (English and French). Finally, the public call informed that the three candidates selected by the Commission shall be obligated to prove their knowledge of languages by submitting internationally recognized certificates confirming knowledge of foreign languages (English and French, minimum level of C1 for the active language and a minimum level of A1/A2 for their passive language) by 15 August 2016.

Having reviewed all submitted applications, the Commission found that out of a total of 12 (twelve) candidates, only 8 (eight) fulfilled the minimum requirements laid down in the public call and the Commission’s Rules of Procedure.

Following the initial administrative selection, the Commission adopted a decision for candidates who passed the initial administrative selection to be invited to an interview.

Pursuant to the positive practices from other countries, instructions by the Council of Europe and the Commission’s Rules of Procedure, a segment of the interview, was carried out in English.

After the interviews, the Commission moved on to evaluate candidates. The evaluation of candidates was carried out individually and anonymously. Each member of the Commission evaluated candidates with scores from 1 to 10, and subsequently a list of the candidates was drafted with their scores, with candidates with highest score average topping the list.

It should be noted that the process of selection of candidates from the Republic of Macedonia for the position of judge in the European Court of Human Rights was very much open to the public during the whole course of the process.

Information about the process of the selection of the candidates was released on the web site of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the 18 June 2016. In addition the press release provided links to the CoE Parliamentary Assembly Resolution 1646 (2009) and Parliamentary Assembly Recommendation 1649 (2004), as well as to the Rules of Procedures of the Commission for selection of candidates for the position of judge in the European Court of Human Rights.

The Decision No. 42-1963/1 of the Government of the Republic of Macedonia also stipulates that the final list of three candidates for electing a judge to the ECHR, will be submitted by the Commission to the Government of the Republic of Macedonia, which in turn will transmit the proposal to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe responsible for the final decision on electing one of the three proposed candidates for judges to the ECHR.

On 6 September 2016 the Government, based on the proposal of the Commission, approved the list of three candidates, in alphabetical order, for the post of a Judge at the European Court of Human Rights in respect of the Republic of Macedonia.
