1 List
and curricula vitae of candidates submitted by the Government of
Hungary
Letter from Mr Ferenc Robák,
Ambassador of Hungary to the Council of Europe, to Mr Wojciech Sawicki, Secretary
General of the Parliamentary Assembly, dated 26 August 2016
[…]
With reference to your letter dated 29 June 2015, I am pleased
to submit to you the names and curricula vitae of the Hungarian
candidates for the post of judge to the European Court of Human
Rights. The method of selection followed the existing Hungarian
public law traditions.
[…]
Information on national selection
procedure for the position of a judge of the European Court of Human
Rights
As to the Government Decree No. 2004/1994 (I. 21.), the Minister
of Justice is responsible for the ECHR matters within the structure
of the Government. After the notification of the Ambassador of Hungary
in Strasbourg in connection with the election procedure, the minister
discusses various competent experts concerning the nomination. He
also discusses with the potential candidates in order to receive
information about the depth and breadth of the professional knowledge
and experience of the candidates. Upon the proposal of the minister,
the Government takes the decision concerning the list of candidates.
After the decision of the Government, the minister requests the
Ambassador to transmit the necessary documents to the Advisory Panel
and later to the Parliamentary Assembly. It was the method of selection
during all the former proceedings, among others in the case of Professor
András Sajó as well, with the only difference that unlike beforehand,
now – upon the request of the Council of Europe – the Government
does not rank the candidates but submits their names in alphabetical
order, leaving it entirely to the Parliamentary Assembly to choose
from the candidates.
The Hungarian Minister of Justice, László Trócsányi is a professor
of constitutional law at the University of Szeged, former visiting
professor at the University Jean Moulin Lyon 3, former judge at
the Hungarian Constitutional Court, former substitute member of
the Venice Commission. As a former ambassador (to France and to
Belgium) as well as a former attorney, he was best in place to contact
all the branches of the legal profession: he consulted university
professors, attorneys, judges, constitutional judges and magistrates
in order to create the list of candidates he – according to the
practice existing for more than 25 years now in the Hungarian legal
system – transmitted to the Government which then chose three names
from this list, taking into account among others the recommendation
of the Council of Europe as to the gender of the candidates. All
his candidates fulfil the expectations existing vis-à-vis the nominees.
Mr. Trócsányi – as an experienced legal expert – is convinced that
the candidates would make excellent judges and could usefully contribute
to the distinguished work of the European Court of Human Rights.
Consequently, the depth and breadth of the professional experience
of the candidates is of a sufficiently high level for the position
to exercise judicial functions in the ECHR, they are considered
a jurisconsult of standing or a person entitled to be appointed
to high judicial office within the meaning of Article 21 (1) of
the Convention. They have been named after a wide range of consultations
with various experts, having taken carefully into consideration
not only the professional background of the candidates, but also
their linguistic capacities as well as how they would qualify as
judges.
May I also take this opportunity to inform you Secretary General
that the Advisory Panel received the above information on the national
selection procedure, and did not raise any objections. It is also
important to stress the readiness of the Government to cooperate
with the Council of Europe, as – upon the confidential opinion of
the Advisory Panel – it has changed the list of candidates for the
final submission on August 26. Moreover, for the first time in the
history of the selection procedures of the ECHR judges, upon the
initiative of the Minister of Justice, the Parliamentary committee
responsible for human rights matters will hold a hearing of the candidates
on the first possible occasion after the beginning of the autumn
session of the Parliament (mid-September), just as it occurs as
to the judge candidates of the General Court of the European Union.
