Reform of the control machinery under the European Convention on Human Rights: Protocol No. 11

Article Abstract:

Protocol No. 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights calls for creation of a new court to reform the convention's control machinery. However, the appeals system outlined in the protocol is unsatisfactory. It makes all judgments of the new court provisional and dependent on the parties' decision to appeal. Under the existing system, control over cases is divided between the European Commission and the European Court of Human Rights, and the procedure can take as much as ten years. The protocol must be ratified or formally accepted by all thirty nations who are parties to the European Convention.
