The article is devoted to the work of the European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice, which is the consultative body of the Council of Europe and plays an important role in improving the justice systems of states — members of this regional organization. Byevaluating the quality of justice of the Council of Europe Member-States using own methods, CEPEJ determines problematic aspects of the functioning of the justice system of individual states and proposes ways to resolve them, thus making a significant contribution to the realization and protection of the human right to a fair trial enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.
