An Examination of the European Court of Human Rights’ Indication of Remedial Measures

Abstract

This article studies the development and current practice of the European Court of Human Rights when it indicates non-financial remedial measures following the deter-mination that violations of the European Convention on Human Rights have occurred. Analyses of the jurisprudence and statistical data derived from the Committee of Ministers' supervisory reports are used to explain, inter alia, the types of remedial measures indicated, the reasons justifying the Court indicating such measures (in the text and operative parts of judgments) and the challenges facing the Court resorting to 'Article 46 judgments'.
