Tokens: Thirdly
,
the
requesting
judges
had
misunderstood
the
Court
’s
focus
on
the
protection
of
the
“
substance
of
human
rights
”
(
la
sostanza
dei
diritti
umani
)
,
if
need
be
by
overcoming
the
formal
framework
of
the
facts
(
l’inquadramento
formale
di
una
fattispecie
)
.
Varvara
should
be
interpreted
as
only
requiring
a
“
substantive
”
declaration
of
liability
and
therefore
as
compatible
with
the
simultaneous
declaration
that
the
offence
was
statute‑barred
according
to
the
rules
of
domestic
law
.
In
other
words
,
the
rationale
of
Varvara
was
that
the
statute
of
limitations
was
compatible
with
a
“
substantive
”
conviction
.
