Abstract
This article deals with the inter-state complaint standardised in Article 33 of the European Convention on Human Rights. This measure was originally intended to protect the rights and freedoms enshrined in the Convention. An analysis of its application indicates that the purpose for which the remedy is used is gradually changing. Analysing the recent inter-state complaints of Armenia and Azerbaijan, one can conclude that this measure is now an additional tool for implementing international policy by conflicting states and not necessarily a means of protecting Convention rights and freedoms.
