IV. The Secretary General of the Council of Europe
This description of the machinery for the protection of human rights established by the Convention would not be complete without a reference to a clause which may prove to have considerable importance for the protection of human rights in Europe. This is Article 57 of the Convention, whereby "on receipt of a request from the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, any High Contracting Party shall furnish an explanation of the manner in which its internal law ensures the effective implementation of any of the provisions of this Convention".
This provides a useful supplement to the machinery of the Convention. Indeed, it strengthens the protection of the rights guaranteed by the Convention. It was first called into use in October 1964 for all the operative provisions of the Convention, and a second time in July 1970 for Article 5, paragraph 5 of the Convention (right to compensation for arbitrary arrest or detention); and in April 1975 for Articles 8, 9, 10 and 11 of the Convention. Article 57 has a potential importance which only the future can measure.
