Abstract
<jats:p>This article analyzes the legal nature of judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and the specifics of their execution within the conventional human rights system. It demonstrates that judgments of the ECHR have a dual legal nature: on the one hand, they are binding inter partes for the respondent state, while on the other, they form authoritative standards of interpretation of the European Convention on Human Rights for all member states (res interpretata). The article examines the main forms of implementation of ECHR judgments in national legal systems, including individual and general measures of execution, as well as the mechanism of international supervision of their execution, carried out by the Committee of Ministers of the Council of Europe. It concludes that the ECHR's practice has a significant impact on the development of national legal systems and contributes to the formation of pan-European standards for the protection of human rights.</jats:p>
