1 The Convention as signed appears in 45 A.J.I.L. Supp. 24 (1951). The Protocol is discussed by Myers, D. P., and Articles 1-3 are quoted in a note in 48 A.J.I.L. 299 (1954).Google Scholar

Both applications, one concerning violations of human rights under the emergency measures instituted by the British on Cyprus and the other concerning behavior of British troops there, were terminated on the request of Greece following the Cyprus settlement in February, 1959.

8 France has not yet ratified, probably because it wishes to prevent a flood of applications from being submitted by Algerians. Decisions of the Commission rejecting applications because of lack of ratification are in fact made by virtue of the limitation ratione personae. Although the Saar, as an associate member of the Council of Europe, had signed and ratified the Convention and Protocol, it did not recognize the right of individual recourse to the Commission. Therefore prior to the political integration of the Saar into the Federal Republic of Germany on Jan. 1, 1957, applications against it were rejected.
