I have the pleasure to submit a list of three candidates in alphabetical order for the position of judge in respect of Armenia, their curricula vitae and the description of the procedure by which the candidates were selected.
[…]
In August 2014, a Presidential decree (No. NH-199-N)Note (hereinafter “the Decree”) was adopted, which:
By its decisions the Commission prescribed the eligibility criteria of candidates, list of documents for submission, criteria and rules of evaluation of candidates.
The first Competition took place from September 3 (the Commission announced the public call) to October 13, 2014 (the President accepted the Commission’s nominations and by Decree no. NH-543-A approved the list of three candidates).
After consultations, the approved list of candidates was revoked by a Presidential decree (no. NH-2-A)Noteon January 12, 2015.
The second Competition was announced on January 28, 2015, and the procedure is described below.
The Commission consists of 9 ex officio members:
The Ministry of Justice (hereinafter “the Ministry”) serves as the Secretariat of the Commission. The Commission carries out its tasks through meetings. The quorum required is 5 members.
The Decree provides that the candidates must meet the requirement of Article 21 of the European Convention on Human rights, particularly, shall be of high moral character and possess the qualifications required for appointment to high judicial office or be jurisconsults of recognized competence.
In the Republic of Armenia the positions of a judge of the Court of Cassation (as the highest court instance of the system of courts of general jurisdiction) and a member of the RA Constitutional Court (as the highest court instance for matters of constitutional justice) are deemed as high judicial offices.
Pursuant to Article 139 of the RA “Judicial Code” the citizens of the Republic of Armenia who have an academic degree doctor in Law and have been constantly teaching law at higher educational institutions for the recent five years or works at a scientific institution can be included in the promotion list for appointment as a judge of the Court of Cassation. Pursuant to Article 3 of the RA Law “On Constitutional Court” a citizen of the Republic of Armenia who is 35 years of age and has the right to vote and has no citizenship of any other country, has completed a higher legal education or has an academic degree in Constitutional Law, as well as has at least ten years’ work experience in law and a command of the Armenian language, can become a member of the Constitutional Court.
The requirements for eligibility:
The Commission created possibilities to enable not only the representatives of the judicial system, but also prosecutors, lawyer, scholars and others, who would meet the minimum formal requirements, to participate in the Competition. The Commission certainly took into account that, to occupy the position of a judge to any European judicial body, judicial experience is in principle required. However, this does not imply that the judicial experience is an absolute requirement, and a lack of such experience should be compensated for by other qualities of the candidate for the post.
The person is not eligible if:
The procedure of selection is divided into 6 stages:
The public call of applications for the second Competition was announced on January 28, 2015Note. The call was published in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Armenia ’’Hayastani Hanrapetutyun’’, was posted in the official websites of the Ministry of Justice (moj.am), Judiciary (court.am), public announcements website (azdarar.am). The call was widely circulated in paper, by internet and social media.
The call particularly included detailed information about the application process, the requirement for the qualification as judge at the ECtHR, including linguistic competences, list of document to be submitted, deadline of submission, criteria of evaluation.
Persons wishing to be nominated as candidates for the position as judge at the ECtHR were invited by the Commission to submit their applications to the Ministry of Justice no later than February 17, 2015. Applicants were invited to submit their applications either in person (handing to the Ministry) or by post (sending to the Ministry). Application in person could be submitted either by the applicant or by his agent (under Power of Attorney).
In total, 15 applications were received from 6 to 17 of February. The received applications were recorded in the registration book. The Ministry posted the photocopy of the registration book in its official website on daily basis, indicating the names of applicants, the date and time of submission and other relevant information.
On 19 February 2015, the Commission carried out the eligibility verification. One applicant (Mrs. Haykanush Parsamyan) did not pass the verification process, as she did not meet one of the positive requirements of eligibility (point 3). The applicant did not challenge this decision.
The Commission invited the rest of the candidates (14) to interviews on 26-27 February 2015. On 20 February, the list of candidates invited to interviews was published.
The detailed rules of the candidate’s interview are stipulated in the Commission decision. In particular:
The interviews were carried out on 26-27 February 2015 in the building of the Court of Cassation. Eight candidates were interviewed on February 26, and six candidates – on February 27.
On each interview 7 to 8 members of the Commission were present. The members of the Commission evaluated only those candidates, whose interviews they had fully participated in.
On its meeting of February 19, 2015, the Commission approved the instruments of ensuring transparency and publicity of interviews, namely:
3 NGOs and 8 media had notified for attendance to the interview. Additionally, 1 media, which had not notified properly, was given access to interview. No media or NGO representative was denied an access to the interview. The broadcast hall worked properly throughout the whole interviewing processNote. Furthermore, the attendees were not denied of the opportunity for audio recording not only in the broadcasting hall, but also in the interview hall.
After the evaluation, the Commission came up with the following figures:
After the evaluation the Commission moved to comprisal of the short-list of the winning candidates. Since first, second and third highest evaluated candidates were of the same gender (males), the Commission unanimously decided to enforce paragraph 27 of the Decree, which sets forth a gender-representation measure. In particular, the highest evaluated representative of under-represented gender (in this case – females) is to be included into the list, replacing the third evaluated candidate.
The highest evaluated female candidate was Mrs. Liana Hakobyan. Thus, she was included into the list by replacing Mr. Vigen Kocharyan.
Accordingly, the Commission comprised the following short-list of the winning candidates:
The Commission empowered the Minister of Justice to present the proposed list of candidates to the President of Republic of Armenia in compliance with paragraph 33 of the Decree. On March 3, 2015 the Minister of Justice presented the list of the winning candidates to the President of Armenia. The President accepted the Commission’s nominations and on 7 March, 2015 approved the list by Decree no. NH-232-A.

For judicial activities see the three subparagraphs below under section “Activities and experience in the field of human rights”
1.1. Proceedings at the European Court of Human Rights
1.2. Proceedings at the RA Constitutional Court
1.3. Proceedings at the RA Court of Cassation (reopening of cases)
I teach at the Justice Academy of Armenia on contract basis since March, 2014. I teach the “Fundamentals of ECHR and the case-law of ECtHR”. My students are the prosecutors, candidate prosecutors, judges, candidate judges and judicial servants (judicial assistant). Starting from January 2015, the investigators will also be involved in the training courses.
My scope of work as a lecturer includes also drafting course syllabus and teaching materials such as case studies, MCQs (multiple-choice question tests), Power point presentations, evaluation questionnaires, etc.
Between September 2 and 5, 2014 I took part in the study visit to Strasbourg.
Currently, I work on drafting ECHR training modules for the Academy as a national consultant at the Council of Europe joint program with the Government of Denmark for conducting needs assessment mission to draft report and recommendations to review the Human Rights training modules (including e-learning and distance learning modules) of the Justice Academy of Armenia.
From 2008 to 2013 I lectured at the Prosecutor’s school on contractual basis. In this respect I attach herewith copies of my contracts. I taught ECHR and the case-law of ECHtR. I lectured specifically on ECHR articles 2, 3, 5 and 6. My students were the prosecutors, candidate-prosecutors and CSI investigators (Cases of Special Importance). At times prosecutors from the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh also took part in the educational courses.
During the teaching at the Prosecutor’s school I drafted more than 100 teaching materials, including case studies, MCQs, handouts, evaluation questionnaires. I drafted case scenarios and scripts to more than two dozens of educational films produced in six collections and covering such ECHR areas as prohibition of torture, detention as a preventive measure, operative investigative activities (police surveillance), right to fair trial, typical violations occurring at pretrial stage of the proceedings, the “Sole and Decisive” rule under Article 6, use of force in conducting an arrest, etc. Electronic educational materials as well, such as case studies and MCQs based on articles 3, 5, and 6 were created during this period which were used during the teaching courses or at the time of final exams.
From 2008 to 2013 I taught at the Judicial School of Armenia. I taught Fundamentals of ECHR and the case-law of the ECtHR, as well as the case-law and decisions of the Constitutional Court of RA. My auditors were judges (from all courts except for the Court of Cassation), including candidate-judges and judicial servants (assistants to judges and court researchers).
My scope of work as a lecturer included also drafting training curriculums and various teaching materials (more than five dozens) such as case studies, MCQs, handouts, Power Point presentations, case-briefs, translations of ECHR decisions and judgments, etc. Those materials covered mainly articles 2, 3, 5 and 6 of the Convention. Besides, I sorted out the Court of Cassations decisions, in which references were made to ECtHR’s case law, and handed them out to trainees for their educational use and for the use in practice. The mentioned educational materials were used both in the course of the studies and in final exams as well.
From 2003 to 2013 I periodically taught ECHR law for advocates (practicing lawyers) within the framework of various training programs organized by donor organizations (American Bar Association, OSCE, US Justice Department, EC, UN, etc). In this respect I attach the copy of my first contract. As the fact of my activities in relation with teaching the lawyers is widely known, I do not attach all of them. At present I have an invitation from the RA Chamber of Advocates to teach ECHR law at the School of advocates of the RA. I drafted the School of advocates’ first teaching module on human rights. I prepared several dozens of educational materials for advocates, including electronic collections on different human rights areas such as, for example, the electronic map of preventive detention (see at http://armlex.am/?page_id=714).
From 2003 until present I periodically teach human rights defenders and lawyers from various human rights non-governmental organizations. The main topic of the courses has been the ECHR and the case-law of ECtHR, and other European human rights mechanisms (e.g. Revised European Social Charter). On average, once or twice a week human rights defense organizations invite me to conduct training courses for their employees on ECtHR case-law.
As this fact is widely known among human rights organizations, I do not attach contracts because there are lots of them. I have developed educational materials for such groups as well. For instance, in 2010 I prepared a training module consisting of 32 training sessions (21 thematic areas) for Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor office. I prepared 3 modules on ’’Prohibition of discrimination’’ within the framework of the CoE 12-day Training of Trainers (ToT) programme for advocates and human rights defenders, which the trainees took as a ground for conducting their further courses in their cascade training sessions. These modules are posted at the Council of Europe’s HELP educational portal (see http://help.ppa.coe.int/course/index.php?categoryid=49).
From October 2013 to January 2014 I conducted 12-day training courses in Moldova for local human rights defenders and advocates on prohibition of discrimination under ECHR and Revised European Social Charter. The organizer was the CoE office in Moldova.
In March 2007 I conducted a one-week training course for Ukrainian advocates in Kiev. The main themes were detention as a preventive measure and article 5 of the Convention. The organizer was the American Bar Association.
In 2006 I founded a law journal titled ’’The Practice of the European Court of Human Rights’’ (which was renamed later to ’’Newsletter of the European Court of Human rights’’). The journal published ECtHR decisions, case-briefs, CoE recommendations, resolutions, documents of different CoE bodies, opinions, scholarly articles, etc. I attach hereby copies of the first and last pages of some editions of the law journal.
I am a founding member of “Arni Consult” law firm, where I work as a legal consultant and legal expert. I work on cases where people seek legal protection against natural or legal persons of foreign states (USA, Germany, Russia, Italy). Certain caseload of the law firm raises human rights violations.
From November, 2004 to November 2007 I worked at ABA CEELI as the head of programs and as an expert on ECHR. I was engaged in the judicial reforms programs which gave me an opportunity to be directly involved in judicial reforms of Armenia in 2004-2007 (e.g. introduction of the doctrine of rule of precedence, development of new judicial institutions, adoption of the Judicial Code, introduction of new procedural doctrines).
In the period from 1992 to 2004 I worked at the embassy as an assistant to US Consul. During that period from 2002-2004 I was engaged also in the judicial reforms programs which was managed by the US embassy and the General Prosecutor’s office of Armenia. As a consular assistant, my duties touched upon various issues concerning public and private international law. I was directly involved in such activities as deportation, extradition, exchange of criminals, visiting foreign citizen under detention, compensation claims against foreign diplomatic mission for damages, seeking legal assistance from foreign state on conduction of investigative actions in the territory of another state within the framework of international mutual assistance treaty ((as well as in the absence of such treaty), international adoption, international child abduction, ratification of documents, and other processes.
Since October, 2002 when I filed my first case Meltex Ltd. (no. 37780/02) against Armenia I have been involved in taking human rights cases to the European Court of Human Rights.
In general, I worked on 116 cases and won in 16 cases (my name is not included in 4 of those cases because of some technical problems (see the Court decisions no. 40094/05, 33376/06, 31553/03, 23341/06, 35944/03, 35738/03, 32283/04, 44837/08, 22390/05, 41698, and 31237/03). In addition, 8 cases were communicated and are currently pending before the Court (no. 7984/06, 29736/06, 44841/08, 63701/09, 44765/08, 10607/10, 42588/10, 49012/08). The Chamber declared inadmissible four of the applications (no. 45199/09, 23693/03, 22382/05, 37784/02/ and 37780/02). Four applications were given priority by the Court (44326/13, 44331/13, 44335/13, 44338/13), and one application was communicated under article 39 of the Rule of Court (no. 61737/14). My name is not mentioned in some cases where I acted as a legal adviser at the stage when the case was communicated to the government and I was asked to be involved in order to respond to the observations of the Government and draft the compensation claim. One of such cases is the CHAP Ltd. v. Armenia case (see no. 15485/09). There are approximately twenty of such cases in which I was involved but my name was not included.
The cases that I worked on raised systemic problems such as the practice of administrative detentions, failure of the regulatory body to justify its decisions in broadcasting licensing competitions, the practice of prolonged preventive detentions and detentions without court order, failure by police to carry out effective investigation on discriminatory grounds, violation of presumption of innocence in the decision of discontinuing criminal proceedings, other issues involving fair trial such as the right to examine witnesses at trial, failure to hold public hearing, the concept of ’’criminal charge’’ under article 6, access to court and other issues.
RA Constitutional Court made approximately 30 decisions in the basis of the claims brought by me and my colleague Artak Zeynalyan. My name is included in 13 decisions (see decisions SDV-1121, SDV-1114, SDV-1099, SDV-1074, SDV-1063, SDV-1052, SDV-1010, SDV-990, SDV-984, SDV-918, SDV-872, SDV-871, SDV-866) (my name is not included in all of the decisions for two reasons; first, some of the applications were filed to the Constitutional Court through the Ombudsman, second, I was not present at the hearings and in accordance with the established practice my name was not inserted in the court decision).
Among the above 30 cases, only one was rejected while in the remaining decisions the Constitutional Court either declared unconstitutional the disputed norm or interpreted it under constitutional doctrine which changed the practice or prompted the law makers to amend the laws.
The above decisions raised systemic problems in various areas such as case reopening proceedings after ECtHR or Constitutional Court decisions, lack of substantive grounds for moral damage in the Civil Code, excessive confidentiality in the concept of “State and Official Secret”, grounds of acquittal in criminal procedure, the procedures and substantive grounds of amending or waiving charges by the prosecutor during trial proceedings. All of the mentioned applications were drafted on the basis of the ECtHR case-law.
Several applications were brought to the Court of Cassation for reopening of proceedings on the basis of the judgments by ECtHR and the Constitutional Court decisions having constituted as a “new fact”. In almost all of the cases the Court of Cassation instituted case reopening proceedings and in several of them it found the past decisions of the above two courts as a “new fact”. On this ground, the Cassation Court quashed the past decisions of the lower courts and remanded the case to first instance court for de novo new examination.
I submitted such applications with respect to the criminal case no. VB/05/13 (following the ECtHR decision of Grisha Virabyan); criminal case VB/01/13 (on the ground of ECtHR decision of Ararat Muradkhanyan), in which I acted as a legal adviser; 5 civil cases no. ARAR2/0081/02/08, 3-10(TD), 3-7(VD), 3-11(TD) and 3-123(VD) (on the ground of ECtHR and RA Constitutional Court decisions on Meltex Ltd. case); on criminal case no. VB/04/13 (on the ground of ECtHR decision of Artak Gabrielyan. In this case, the applicant Artak Gabrielyan was eventually acquitted by Avan and Nor Norq Court of First Instance); on administrative case EShD/0001/05/10 (on the ground of ECtHR decision of Maxim Gasparyan); on criminal case EQRD/0205/01/08 (on the ground of RA Constitutional Court decision of Aram Bareghamyan); criminal case EKD/0106/01/08 (on the ground of RA Constitutional Court decision of Ashot Manukyan); criminal cases EKD/0025/11/11 and EKD/0033/15/11 (on the ground of RA Constitutional Court decision of Gayane Ashughyan); and on administrative case VD/1314/05/10 (on the ground of RA Constitutional Court decision of Helsinki citizens’ assembly Vanadzor office). In all of the above-mentioned applications the ECtHR case law was cited widely.

The aim of the initiative was to provide independent professional opinions on defamation court cases. During its 3-year activity the Council has published 37 opinions all of which were based on the decision of the Constitutional Court no SDV-997, the case law of the Court of Cassation and the ECHR, as well as the corresponding decisions of first instance courts. As a Council member I took part in drafting all of the opinions, including the relevant research and survey work.

Mentoring is an essential part of my activity. I and my colleagues cooperate with more than a dozen human right organizations and initiative groups, thus helping and providing guidance to their lawyers in their advocacy activities. We draft sample claims, applications, motions for court proceedings and administrative proceedings before public bodies. We consult them concept solutions in their advocacy activities, as well as organize for them round table discussions and training seminars. Quite often we participate with them in judicial proceedings by sharing our experience on a given matter.
