Effectiveness of the ECHR[edit]

  • "The European Convention on Human Rights is the most effective human rights regime in the world."[1]
  • "The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) is the crown jewel of the world’s most advanced international system for protecting civil and political liberties. In recent years, however, the ECtHR has become a victim of its own success. ... It is no exaggeration to state that the Convention and its growing and diverse body of case law have transformed Europe’s legal and political landscape, qualifying the ECtHR as the world’s most effective international human rights tribunal."[2]
  • "Even though the European system of protection of human rights is considered by many to be the most effective, still some doubts remain."[3]
  • "The European Convention on Human Rights, for the most part, guarantees civil and political rights. It is a unique international instrument that provides what is widely regarded as the most effective trans-national judicial process for complaints brought by citizens and organizations against their respective governments."[4]
  • "It is this system that has led to some of the most important human rights decisions of our time, and has provided a regional conscience that protects over 820 million people, warranting its description as “the most effective human rights regime in the world.”"[5]
  • "The 1950 European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) is, within its scope, by far the most effective international instrument with respect to the implementation of human rights"[6]
  • "the most successful international human rights adjudication and enforcement regime in the world today"[7]
  • "'Scholars invariably describe it with superlatives' and with good reason, as the Court has undoubtedly reached a status of standard-setter for human rights protection globally"[8]
  • "Scholars invariably describe it with superlatives. Among the world’s systems of human rights, it has been dubbed “the most advanced and effective”; “pre-eminent”; the “most successful”; certainly the most fully developed and the best-observed”; “no doubt the most developed and successful.” The diplomat and scholar Antonio Cassese proclaims, “[N]o other human rights treaty can claim the level of influence of the European Convention.” Another professor calls the Strasbourg tribunal “a sort of world court of human rights.”"[9] Quoted in[10][11]
  • "The European human rights system is the oldest and most effective in existence." John Marshall Law School [1]
  • "During the last two decades, the system of human rights protection set up under the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR, or the “Convention”), with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR, or the “Court”)—frequently heralded as being one of the most effective international courts in existence—at its center, has come under stress."[12]
  • "It has long been argued that the Convention remains by far the most successful manifestation of the aspiration of the UDHR and that it has created the most effective system of international protection of human rights in existence. ... From one angle, this book is therefore concerned with the story of the development of the ECHR as an instrument of international human rights law and the most effective system of human rights protection devised."[13]

@Srt2: It's not complicated: in order to remove or qualify this information this information you must cite multiple reliables sources which explicitly state that the ECHR is not the most effective international human rights court, or that some other court is more effective.

I'm also concerned that some of your edits are placing a high weight on recent events in terms of the caseload and how the ECtHR handles cases. This article covers all 70 years of its history, so it's important to avoid WP:RECENTISM. (t · c) buidhe 06:59, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Srt2: If you continue to revert to your preferred version and insert original research without engaging on the talk page, I will report you for the edit warring. It is not acceptable to repeatedly revert another editor's edits without attempting to communicate on the talk page. (t · c) buidhe 17:03, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Here I am at the talk page (I didn´t find it previously). Thank you for inviting me to this page. To put it briefly: I wanted to add literature pointing out that the ECHR is in a problematic situation as only a tiny number of complaints are effectively treated by this Court. Of course, there are many reasons for this deplorable situation but it would be wrong - and dangerous - to ignore this problem. To state that the ECHR is the most effective human rights courts is a highly problematic affirmation. How do you measure effectiveness? This is a totally subjective statement and it is by no means corroborated by statistics as more than 95% of the complaints are declared inadmissible already at the first filtering stage. And we should also be aware of the fact that such statements may be understood as carrying a message of Western, European arrogance if not imperialism. So let´s remain down to earth and portray the ECHR with all its merits but also with all its deficiencies. Only so it will be possible to improve the functionality of this institutions which,as a whole, surely merits praise (but without idolatry).Srt2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Srt2 (talk • contribs) 18:37, 19 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
