Five facts we have discovered so far

We apologise for the cancellation of the dissemination seminars, but we offer a flavour of what we have discovered so far in these five facts.

1. Four out of five judgments of the Court of Human Rights contain more than a single opinion.

2. Out of nearly 4,000 judgments, only 218 attracted a single dissenting opinion. 165 of these involved a dissent by the national judge.

3. The percentage of non-unanimous judgments in the Grand Chamber is lower than the percentage of non-unanimous judgments of Chambers of the Court.

4. In nine out of ten judgments, a violation of some provision of the Convention is found.

5. Sinec 2000, there has been a steady increase in the number of judgments in which the Court has found no violation of a Convention provision: 9 per cent in 2000 rising to 13 per cent in 2004.
