Regional human rights bodies, such as the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Right, have constituent instruments, which contain clauses allowing states to leave the institution. Given that regional human rights tribunals have the power to issue rulings against states, these clauses have been relatively underused. This paper argues this is due to the socialisation of states with regional human rights regimes. Exit clauses are a reflection of underlying political forces behind a regional human rights bodies’ formation. They also play an important and under examined state socialisation once a state is a member of a regional human rights body.

区域人权体系中的退出条款

区域人权机构，例如欧洲人权法院和美洲人权法院，都有组成文书，其中包含允许国家离开该机构的条款。鉴于区域人权法庭有权对国家作出裁决，这些条款的使用相对不足。本文认为这是由于具有区域人权制度的国家的社会化。退出条款反映了地区人权机构形成背后的潜在政治力量。一旦一个国家成为区域人权机构的成员，它们也会发挥重要的、未经审查的国家社会化作用。
