Abstract

The aim of this paper is to depict the structure of the mechanisms of ECHR rights’ implementation and the de facto relations between the Strasbourg level and the national level of ECHR regime. The paper draws from the pluralist narrative of the European human rights regime and builds upon the pluralists' account, according to which the structure of the European human rights regime is not hierarchical but rather heterarchical. The paper, however, goes beyond this statement and combines the pluralist approaches with the compliance theories focusing on domestic politics in order to make the pluralist narrative more nuanced and accurate.
