have been taken to ensure that the violation has ceased and
that the injured party is put, as far as possible, in the same
situation as that party enjoyed prior to the violation of the
Convention [, and/or] general measures have been adopted,
preventing new violations similar to that or those found or
putting an end to continuing violations”. 932 If the Committee of
Ministers considers that a State Party has refused to abide by
the final judgment, it may, after formal notice and with a twothirds
absolute majority decision, refer the case to the Court for
lack of implementation of the judgment. The Court can then
rule on the violation of Article 46 ECHR and refer the case to
the Committee for measures to be taken. 933 Exceptionally,
where new facts come to light within a year of a judgment, a
party may request revision of the judgment. 934
