The European Court of Human Rights recently has introduced a variety of instruments to
streamline the flow of applications and to address the handling of repetitive applications.
This article discusses one of these instruments - the indication of “general measures” in the
operative part of the Court’s judgments, a reform introduced in 2004. This article also discusses
the issues likely to cause the Court to indicate "general measures" in its judgments against
Ukraine: the length of judicial proceedings and the conditions of detention.
