  Abstract

This article examines the challenges and opportunities in measuring compliance with international human rights tribunals. Using the European Court of Human Rights, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights as examples, this article highlights the importance of strong measures of compliance, identifies the strengths and weaknesses of the current approaches to measuring compliance, and begins a dialogue about the future of measuring compliance by positing an alternative compliance indicator.

Keywords: compliance, execution of judgments, measurement, tribunals
