Book excerpt: As a response to widespread structural or endemic human rights violations, in 2004 the European Court began to issue pilot judgments, the aim of which was not only to exert further pressure on national authorities to tackle systemic problems, but also to stop the European Court itself being inundated with the same types of cases. This analyses the principal characteristics of the pilot judgment procedure and its application in key cases to date.
