Abstract

180 B. Swart 1 The Case-Law of the European Court of Human Rights in 1993 1. THE WORK OF THE COURT The number of criminal cases decided by the European Court of Human Rights in 1993 amounts to twenty-six, two less than in 1992.2 In half of them it held that one or more viol- ations of the Convention had occurred. To the regular reader of the Court's case-law they offer fewer surprises than those of the previous year. Most of the judgments elaborate on al- ready familiar themes, sometimes refining existing criteria or deviating in some respect from a previous course. There are, however, exceptions. The most important decisions by the Court deal with the state of emergency in Northern Ireland and the privilege against self-in- crimination. A point of concern is that the Court sometimes tends to become even more ellip- tical in explaining its reasons for deciding a case for or against the applicant than it often is already. The following judgments in criminal matters have been rendered by the Court. 26 January 1993 Series A 254 W. v. Switzerland 24 February 1993 A 255 ' Fey v. Austria 25 February 1993 . A 256-A
