"Ten years after the ‘new’ European Court for Human Rights. Results and new prospects". This is the subject of the workshop that will be held today at the European Court for Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the enforcement, on November 1st 1998, of protocol no. 11 of the European Convention for Human Rights, which has deeply amended the regulatory mechanism established by the latter and which, according to Vladimiro Zagrebelsky, a judge at ECHR, "has improved the effectiveness of the European system for the protection of human rights and has given the Court itself more accessibility and visibility". The workshop will be opened by Jean-Paul Costa, president of ECHR. The workshop will be divided into two sessions on "The evolution of the law on individual appeal" and "The evolution of the protection of human rights" since the enforcement of Protocol no. 11. Guests will include Sylvie Saroléa, lawyer of the "Ligue des droits de l’homme" of Brussels; and Constance Grewe, a judge at the Constitutional Court of Bosnia Herzegovina. One further reform of the Court was started in 2001 and is now the subject of a new Protocol, no. 14, which since 2004 has been opened to the member states’ signature but has not been enforced yet.
