Book excerpt: In practice and legal doctrine, little attention has so far been paid to the position of the applicant who has taken the long road to the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg) or a UN Human Rights Committee (Geneva) and finally won his/her case there. Does he or she see any improvement in his/her position? Does the applicant obtain real reparation? The purpose of this book is to demonstrate how individual case decisions from Strasbourg and Geneva are implemented in the national legal order. Is there a need for improving this implementation, and if so, how can such an improvement be achieved? In this volume several legal practitioners and scholars deal with the issue of the execution of human rights decisions in the national legal order from different perspectives. Emphasis is laid on the execution of Strasbourg decisions in the Dutch legal order, but solutions in other Council of Europe member states are also discussed. The book is intended for lawyers having a special interest in human rights, both at the national and international level.
