This article provides a discussion and analysis on the scope, content, legal significance and prospects of the doctrine of equivalent protection. More particularly, the article first offers brief background on the issue, identifying three main stages of its development, based on the relevant case-law of the ECHR. It is argued that the scope of the doctrine gradually got extended and clarified, despite the fact that a recently created Bosphorus presumption on the doctrine of equivalent protection is hardly rebuttable. Finally, this article discusses the prospects of the doctrine in light of the accession of the EU to the ECHR, as well as in case of failure to reach accession agreement.
