Why Comply? European Court of Human Rights Enforcement in the United Kingdom

我建议研究英国为何以及何时遵守欧洲人权法院的判决。我的目的是了解人权机构，主要是法院和民间社会行为者如何在缺乏总体权威的情况下最大限度地执行《欧洲人权公约》中的权利，从而改善联合王国的人权记录。我的目标是确定可以改变国家行为的激励措施，例如财政和非财政补救措施，以便通过影响社会规范来阻止今后的违法行为，从而改善国际法治。我的研究将分为三个阶段。首先，我将通过对12，000多例病例进行定量生存分析，确定英国最有可能遵守的情况。在第二部分中，我将通过绘制决策过程和影响这些决策的社会过程来研究英国为何在这些情况下遵守规定。我认为规范内化的主要参与者是政府、公民社会和公众。我将进行定性分析，主要是通过与公务员和立法者等关键角色进行结构化访谈，以及对媒体进行分析。我亦会就一项委讬进行的舆论调查进行量化分析。在第三阶段，我将根据先前的调查结果，确定法院和其他机构可以采取的最有效的行动，以最大限度地遵守规定。

I propose to examine why and when the United Kingdom complies with European Court of Human Rights judgments. My aim is to understand how human rights institutions, primarily the Court, and civil society actors can maximise the enforcement of the rights in the European Convention of Human Rights in the absence of an overarching authority and, therefore, improve the UK's human rights record. I aim to identify incentives, such as financial and non-financial remedies, that can change State behaviour so as to deter future violations, perhaps through influencing social norms, and thus improve the international rule of law. My research will have three stages. In the first, I will determine the circumstances where the UK is most likely to comply, using quantitative survival analysis on 12,000+ cases. In the second, I will examine why the UK complies in these circumstances by mapping the decision-making process and the social processes that affect these decisions. I suggest that the main parties within norm internalisation are the government, civil society and the public. I will undertake qualitative analysis, primarily through structured interviews with key players such as civil servants and legislators, as well as analysis of media. I will also carry out quantitative analysis on a commissioned public opinion poll. For the third stage, I will identify the most effective action the Court and other institutions can take to maximise compliance, based on the earlier findings.
