Abstract
This article explores what we seem to know and what it might be useful to know about the efficacy of the 1950 European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.' It concludes that, though we know quite a lot of detail about compliance with Strasbourg law, we should be a little more careful about claiming too much success for the system. For an international legal system, Strasbourg law is, from what we can tell, remarkably efficacious, but it is far from (anything but relatively) perfect.
