The Foreign and Commonwealth Office holds various documents relating to compliance of the Russian Federation with judgments of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), in particular certain documents issued by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe which supervises execution of ECtHR judgments, and documents on cases of broader political interest.

The ECtHR's judgments and final resolutions of the Committee of Ministers (where the Committee of Ministers has decided that all necessary measures have been taken to execute a judgment) are available for viewing online at the ECtHR website at http://cmiskp. echr.coe.int/tkp197/search.asp?skin=hudoc-en.
