In the present article, the author analyzes twenty-four judgments of the European Court of Human
Rights pronounced in the cases regarding the Revolution of 1989, by which it was established that
Romania violated, mainly, the procedural side of Article 2 (right to life) of the (European) Convention for
the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. The author also identifies the advantages
and disadvantages of the procedure by which the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe
supervises the enforcement by Romania of those judgments. Finally, the article aims to assess the
impact that the judgements of the European Court of Human Rights have had in recent years on the
conduct of internal investigations, i.e. the so-called „File of the Revolution”.
