Since 2014, Abu Zubaydah’s legal team has sought to ensure meaningful implementation of the ground-breaking ECtHR judgments, as examples of submissions show. Several reports of the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers (COM) confirm that Poland and Lithuania paid compensation, but they have not adequately investigated or taken measures to ensure this would not happen again. Both states claim that non-cooperation by the US hampers further action, but more could be done. In particular, they should offer to facilitate release and relocation.  The COM has also urged all Council of Europe member states to raise Abu Zubaydah’s situation and increase pressure on the United States. It has asked the United States to reconsider its position and take all measures to release and relocate Abu Zubaydah.
