Ministers from the Council of Europe are set to review the Immovable Property Commission (IPC) and its effectiveness in addressing Greek Cypriot claims for lost property and compensation in northern Cyprus. The committee will discuss the implementation of rulings from the European Court of Human Rights, including the significant Xenides-Arestis case from 2005. This case mandated adequate compensation for Greek Cypriots displaced by the 1974 Turkish invasion, leading to the establishment of the IPC.
Cyprus argues that the IPC, operated by Turkish Cypriot authorities, is not an effective remedy, citing ongoing non-payment of awarded sums and urging immediate, unconditional payment from Turkey, which now exceeds €57 million. Turkey, however, contends that the IPC has been instrumental in closing several cases, pointing to instances where applicants refused compensation offered through the commission.
This review is crucial as it directly impacts the resolution of property disputes and compensation for individuals affected by the division of Cyprus, testing the efficacy of international human rights rulings.
