,Qos'q'ss 17. The decision taken is a setback, in view of the development of the law on the subject. On the one hand, it leads to a complete loss of the opportunity to control the rights which would emerge from this case (A) and, on the other hand, it highlights the peculiarities of the case in view of the recenl Gombert Judgment, rendered in 2018 (B). A) Lost opportunity of expected control 18. There can be no doubt that a judgment on the merits by this Court would have made its mark in this dispute, rather than in its present form which limits it to inadmissibility. The Human Rights Committee in its Decision, and in accordance with its applicable law, puts into perspective the idea of control of the Respondent State. lndeed, the decision states in its operative part: "the Committee wishes to receive from the State party, within'180 days, information about the measures taken to give effect to the Committee's Views. The State party is also requested to publish the present Views and to have them widely disseminated in the State party." lt would not be an overstatement to say that the Court could draw inspiration from certain points in the operative part of the Committee's decision to take a stand. The means that could be available to the Court are dashed by this inadmissibility ruling. 19. Judicial bodies and quasi-judicial bodies that contribute to the effectiveness of human rights in the international sphere have an obligation to complement each other.la The Court, in the instanlDexter case, can apply regional instruments, in addition to international human rights law. This is, moreover, the useful interpretation that can be made of certain provisions of the Protocol: <The Court shall apply the provisions of the Charter and any other relevant human rights instruments ratified by the States concerned>. lndeed, conventional drafters expect ordinary interpretation of their instruments; yet, these provisions allow undeniable complementarity of legal means. la See the analyses of lb6fiez (R.
