"In Opinion 2/13, one reason why the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) found the European Union (EU)-European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) draft accession agreement to be incompatible with the EU Treaties was that it did not avert the risk that accession would undermine the principle of mutual trust in EU law. This principle of mutual trust holds that Member States may be required to presume that fundamental rights have been observed by the other Member States."
