Description
More than ever, international attention has been directed to the needs of those who have suffered human rights violations. Nevertheless, the chasm between what victims want and what they obtain is still vast. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights, unlike most tribunals, has sought to narrow this gap by ordering remedies that respond to victims' demands for recognition, restoration, and accountability. In contrast, for decades the European Court of Human Rights has applied a restrictive remedial model. The European Court, inordinately' concerned about its institutional integrity, curtails remedies--often delivering only declaratory relief and monetary damages. Since the Inter-American model is far more oriented towards the expressed preferences of victims, I will designate it "victim-centered," while I conceptualize the European approach as "cost-centered."
