“…The first landmark in the history of the Council of Europe and of the Convention system was in 1994, when under the impetus of the main contributing states and with the aid of successive secretaries-general, a zero-growth policy was established for the budget of the Council -at the very time when the successive integration of the Central and Eastern European countries was going to turn it into a large pan-European institution 16 . The second landmark was in 1999-2000, with the decision to change the organization's budgetary management by implementing the Results-Based-Budgeting (RBB) strategy, as the increasing number of Member States put a strong strain on the budget, with pressure from the German, Italian and British governments to cut down on costs.…”

Abstract:Faced with a sharp rise in the number of individual applications, the European Court of Human Rights has been forced to provide greater accountability to governments eager to downsize its budget and staff. This has resulted in the introduction of quantitative criteria, to the detriment of quality and of the service rendered to individual victims. These new management policies have admittedly reduced the number of pending cases, but they have also considerably eroded the right of individual application. The new managerial policy has definitely shaped a new Court.

In 1980, following a military coup in Bolivia, the Estrada brothers, Renato and Hugo, were detained near a control gate by a Bolivian military patrol while on their way to visit their sick grandfather. State officials proceeded to remove their belongings and beat and torture them. Following the beating, they were transferred by security forces to a military post, and then to a special security office (Scharrer, 2014a). After being sent to the security office, Renato disappeared. Reflecting on the incident, Hugo claims, "Since we entered the [security office], since then, I have never seen my brother again" (Amnesty International, 2014). To no avail, family members appealed to state authorities, requesting information, calling for an investigation, and filing several formal complaints throughout the 1980s. Finally, in 2003, Hugo requested that the Human Rights Commission in Bolivia investigate the disappearance, and in 2004, the Ombudsman of Bolivia filed a petition in the Inter-American Human Rights System on behalf of Renato (Scharrer, 2014a).After 22 years of repeated state failures to adequately investigate and prosecute those responsible for the torture and disappearance of Renato, the case reached the Inter-American Court of Human Rights. In 2008, the Inter-American Court delivered a judgment, finding that Bolivia had violated several articles of the American Convention on Human Rights, including the right to life and the right to be free from torture. 1 Following the judgment, the state took several positive steps designed to remedy the rights abuse, including increasing resources for the Interinstitutional Council for the Clarification 1 The articles violated included Article 4(1), Article 5(2), and Article 7, among several other articles.
