Extract

In contrast with the vast specialized literature on the application of the rule of exhaustion of local remedies in contemporary experiments on the international protection of human rights, comparatively very little has been written on the place of the local remedies rules in earlier international law experiments granting procedural status to individuals. It may in fact be asked to what extent was the application of the local redress rule in those earlier experiments taken into due account by the draftsmen of present-day human rights instruments and procedures. The present study purports to examine the multiplicity of solutions given to the problem of exhaustion of local remedies in international experiments in the first half of the twentieth century.

As stated by the Italian representative (Mr. Scialoja) to the Permanent Mandates Commission (eighth special session) in reply to a point raised by the British representative (Sir Austen Chamberlain), “in the case of petitions from minorities, the minorities were placed under the sovereignty of a State and the question was one of the relations between a sovereign and subjects. In the case of a mandate, on the contrary, the question concerned populations protected by a mandatory of whom they were not the subjects. There was accordingly an essential difference between the two cases which might very well justify a difference of method in regard to the communication of the resolutions”.
