Europe Rejects Politicization of Human Rights Court | JQJO

The Council of Europe's Secretary General, Alain Berset, rejected a letter signed by nine member states, including Italy, calling for amending the European Convention on Human Rights. Berset emphasized the Court's independence and impartiality, crucial for upholding human rights. He stressed that politicizing the Court undermines the rule of law and risks eroding stability, urging for debate within appropriate institutional channels rather than political pressure.
