Having had interstate applications from Denmark, Norway, Sweden and the Netherlands against Greece lodged with it in September 1967, the European Commission for Human Rights transmits in November 1969 a report to the Committee of Ministers on the violation by the Greek Government of several articles of the European Convention on Human Rights. Agreeing with the opinion of the Commission, and despite the denunciation of the Convention by Greece, the Committee of Ministers decides on 15 April 1970 that the respondent Government has violated the Convention.
