The aim of the Interlaken Conference was to ensure the future of the European Court of Human Rights. The Conference’s conclusions do not appear up to tackling the serious crisis of the system in its entirety (not of the Court alone). The Court is not anymore able to give a proper and timely answer to the mass of applications. The repetitive cases weight shows the lack of action of the governments to remove the causes of the repeated violations and the inadequacy of the Committee of Ministers in playing its role of supervision of the execution of the Court’s judgements. The governments took the occasion of the Conference to raise some criticisms to the Court case-law (that the Author finds baseless) and requested the Committee of Ministers to study the way of implementing a series of minor procedural reforms. According to the final document of the Conference this process will last almost a decade. Meanwhile the backlog of the Court will grow to two hundred thousand cases
