Methodology

Last updated: 10 November 2026

Country information comes only from official depositary records (UN Treaty Collection, Council of Europe Treaty Office, Organization of American States). Treaty status changes: always confirm on the official record before filing a complaint.

For each country, the Remedy Finder records whether each mechanism is open, open with limits, contested or not available. The information comes from the official treaty records of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the Organization of American States and the African Union, and from the courts and committees themselves.

Full re-verification is ongoing. Ratifications and withdrawals change over time, so confirm the position with the relevant body before submitting a complaint.

The typical duration of each procedure is an estimate based on the experience of Just Access e.V. and on the bodies' own information.
