Russia Okays Strasbourg Court Reform

After a five-year delay the Russian State Duma ratified the 14th Protocol to the European Convention on Human Rights. The Protocol provides for a significant simplification of procedures in the European Court of Human Rights, currently overloaded with cases (with Russia being the most sued country). Russia is the last Council of Europe member to ratify the Protocol, removing the last impediment for implementation of the reforms.
