and curricula vitae of candidates submitted by the Government of
AndorraNote
Letter from Mr Joan Forner Rovira,
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, Permanent Representative of
Andorra to the Council of Europe, to Ms Chatzivassiliou-Tsovilis,
Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly, dated 13 May 2024
[…] it is my honour to present you with the curricula vitae,
appended hereto in alphabetical order, of the three candidates in
question:
- Ms Saïda El Boudouhi
- Ms Canòlic Mingorance
- Mr David Moynat
I would like to begin by telling you that the Government of
Andorra attaches prime importance to the election of an Andorran
national as the judge representing Andorra as such persons are best
placed to know about cases relating to Andorra, particularly when
they become the Judge Rapporteur for Committee, Chamber and Grand
Chamber cases. Since the accession of Andorra to the Council of
Europe (1994), all the judges representing Andorra have been Andorran
nationals.
[…]
2 Information
on national selection procedure for the position of a judge of the
European Court of Human Rights
2.1 Introduction
Before describing the procedure followed by the Andorran Government
to select the Andorran candidates for the post of judge at the European
Court of Human Rights (the Court), we felt it was important to give
an outline of the make-up of the Andorran judicial system and the
nationality of the judges working within it. This brief introduction
may help to understand why the Andorran Government had to publish
the call for candidates four times (between 13 December 2023 and
12 April 2024) before finding three suitable candidates.
The courts are as follows:
- Batllia:
the court of first instance and preliminary investigation in civil,
administrative and criminal cases, with 17 members (one President,
Mr David Moynat, and 16 judges), all of Andorran nationality;
- the Tribunal de Corts: the criminal court, with 6 members
(one President, Ms Canòlic Mingorance, and 5 judges), 4 of whom
are of Andorran nationality;
- the High Court of Justice, the highest ordinary court,
with 9 members (one President and 8 judges), 3 of whom are Andorran
nationals;
- the Constitutional Court: the Constitutional Court provides
definitive interpretations of the Constitution. It currently has
four members, none of whom are Andorran.
2.2 Publication
of the call for candidatures
At the Cabinet meeting of 6 December 2023, the Government
of the Principality of Andorra approved the call for candidatures
which launched the procedure to select the three candidates for
the national list.
On 13 December 2023, the call was published in the Official
Gazette. Anyone interested who met the conditions laid down in the
Parliamentary Assembly’s recommendations and the European Convention
on Human Rights was to present their candidature along with the
related CVs in French and in English to the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs by 19 January 2024 at the latest. We received only one candidature
in response.
On 24 January 2024, a second announcement was published in
the Official Gazette with a deadline for applications of 15 March
2024. This resulted in two further candidatures.
On 21 February 2024, a third notice was published with a deadline
of 15 March 2024, giving rise to another two candidatures.
And lastly, on 21 March 2024, a final call was published with
a deadline of 12 April 2024, prompting three candidates to apply.
2.3 Appointment
of a Selection Committee
The Selection Committee is made up of the following members:
1 Mr Joan Manel Abril Campoy,
Vice-President of the Constitutional Court. Chair of the Evaluation Committee;
2 Ms Florence Benoît-Rohmer, French legal expert, specialising
in human rights, and professor at the University of Strasbourg;
3 Mr Pere Vilanova, expert in constitutional law and member
of the Venice Commission;
4 Ms Eva Garcia Lluelles, Head of the International Legal
Relations and Co-operation Department and Government Agent to the
European Court of Human Rights and hence familiar with its activities;
5 Ms Mireia Fernandez, member of the Government Legal Office
and member of the Government Agent’s working group;
6 Mr Jeroni X. Estopinan Pascual, Director of Multilateral
and Co-operation Activities at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs,
Committee secretary and expert in languages (French and English).
In contrast with the last selection procedure nine years ago,
this time, the Committee was balanced in its composition, with members
whose national and international prestige is acknowledged and who
are sufficiently knowledgeable in technical matters and free from
external influence. In this context, of the six members, three, including
the Chair, who has a casting vote, do their work outside the structures
of government, and two even work outside the Principality. In addition,
the three members who are in government structures have civil service
status and therefore can assess matters independently while also
knowing how the Court operates.
The Committee members’ profiles guarantee that the Committee
has extensive knowledge of human rights, both at national and at
European level, the constitutional and legislative application of
human rights in Andorra and the functioning of the selection procedure.
The Committee met on 24 April 2024 to analyse and assess the
various applications received and it interviewed each candidate
for one hour, particularly with a view to ensuring that their qualifications
and experience met the conditions required. The Committee assessed
the candidates according to the following criteria: their curricula
vitae, their experience, their motivation, and their language skills.
Having deliberated, the Selection Committee decided to submit
the national list comprising three candidates to the Executive Council
for approval at its meeting of 24 April 2024.
The Executive Council approved the national list proposed
and the candidates were informed of the result.

VII. Publications
and other works
My publications and research projects span across various
branches of public international law, from the study of international
tribunals to international human rights law and international economic
law. My study of international human rights law has often stemmed
from a comparative and systematic perspective. It often led me to
examine comparatively several branches of international law, such
as international investment law and human rights law, and to scrutinise
the reception of international human rights law in national legal
systems through a comparative lens.
