-25example, when their futility has been revealed in the practice, because there is no way of executing decisions or due to any other situation that constitutes a denial of justice.140 The process should lead to materialization of the protection of the right recognized in the judicial ruling, by the proper application of this ruling.141 102. On the other hand, this Court has indicated that Article 8(1) of the Convention implies that the State must guarantee that the decision produced by the proceedings satisfies the end for which it was conceived. The latter does not mean that the right must always be granted, but rather that the capacity of the body to produce the result for which it was conceived be guaranteed.142 103.
