the interpretation of the Convention is sharply increased in this judgment and, in my
opinion, this should be corrected. It is not a question of preventing hypothetical
future violations in other cases; it is a matter of promoting human rights, which is
laudable from all points of view, but which the said provision of the Convention does
not authorize the Court to do in the judgment it delivers on human rights violations
in a specific case. There are other opportunities and other organizations and organs
for that purpose.
