majority of votes of all Judicial Council members in secret ballot.
Following the vote, the Judicial Council adopted the Resolution

IV. Activities
and experience in the field of human rights
My personal experience in the field of human rights is connected
with the profession of judge which covers the entirety of my professional
career to date. The practical decision making process of a judge
includes inter alia the application of the international treaties
which bind the Slovak Republic. The European Convention on Human
Rights is an international treaty which is directly applicable in
the Slovak legal system and takes precedence over national law.
Every judge is obliged to respect and protect the rights stemming
from the provisions of the ECHR. As a judge performing my duties
at the appeal court in civil cases I am familiar with the applicable
case law of the Court in particular with regard to right to a fair
trial which should be protected in every step of judicial proceedings.
Besides this we often consider the case law of the Court concerning
the right to respect of private and family life, freedom of expression,
the prohibition of discrimination and the protection of property.
