The European Court Of Human Rights: A Study On The Effectiveness Of Judicial Procedures And Decisions

Authors : Ramdani Massika .

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the efficiency of the European Court of Human Rights through an analysis of its litigation procedure, the mechanisms for issuing judgments, and the effectiveness of those mechanisms in practice. The research focuses on the aptitude of the Court to manage applications efficiently and maintain the right to a fair hearing within the boundaries of the European Convention on Human Rights. The findings show that the European Court of Human Rights played a key role in developing fair-trial guarantees; however, its procedure still faces practical problems of various types. Even within these limitations, the Court remains a very important judicial body within the larger European human-rights protection system. Its procedural mechanisms must, hence, be continuously improved if procedural justice is ever to be fully realysed.
