THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS HAS NOT CHANGED AT ALL !!!


The EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS (ECHR) has not changed since the last grand meeting in April !!!  This organisation has, however, resisted all reforms for a long time !!! 

It has a backlog of 150 000 cases !!!   Is there not something radically wrong ?  Is it a Human Right or is it a Human Obligation to have to wait so long for Justice ?

When will Sir Nicolas Bratza, President of the ECHR, act ?  He said after the Brighton Conference in April, that the Brighton Declaration "would not change the way we do our jobs".  Really !!!  Does he really want to go on as before ? 

Indirectly Sir Nicolas pleads that his courts must remain independent !!!  Everyone agrees !!!

However, is it not time that Sir Nicolas accepts graciously that changes are "perhaps" warrented ?  Can he defend that Backlog of 150 000 cases ?  Must criminals wait years for justice, eternally in fact ? 

Should Sir Nicolas himself not be alerting his superiors that changes in the definition of the objectives of his Courts must be urgently undertaken ?  Kenneth Clark could be helpful.
