This article analyses the so-called ‘rule of exhaustion of local remedies’ whereby a State
must be given the opportunity to redress an alleged wrong within the framework of its own
domestic legal system before its international responsibility can be called into question at
the level of regional or international organs. With respect to the specific historical
development of the rule, the paper portrays the transition of the principle from its original
function in international law to its extended application in human rights law. At the centre
of the analysis is the question of whether the rule of exhaustion of local remedies has
simply been ‘transplanted’ into the field of human rights protection or whether it has
undergone substantial transformation to the extent that it now qualifies as a self-contained
rule under human rights law. After having analysed the application of the local remedies
rule in the field of human rights, it is argued that – even though initially influenced by the
original rule in the field of diplomatic protection – at present the local remedies rule in
human rights law is an autonomous and self-contained rule with different functions and
aims.
