Abstract
A recurrent statement when implementation of international orders/recommendations in individual cases is considered is the belief that greater specificity of the measures helps compliance. Thne article studies the validity of this statement in light of the processes and dynamics that occur when a decision or judgment is adopted by a supranational body. The article analyses, through specific case studies, and a case tracing process, if specificity impacted upon de domestic responsiveness towards it, and if so, how. We also considered the extent to which supranational bodies deferred to states the design of appropriate reparations and how subsidiarity applied. The article is mainly based on an analysis of decision by the Inter-American and African Human Rights Systems as well as by decision taken by some UN treaty monitoring bodies like the Human Rights Committee.
