European Convention on Human Rights

01 May 1994

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

The Council of the EU (the body representing the 12 states) has referred the question of whether the EU can accede to the European Convention of Human to the European Court of Justice for its opinion. The question the Court has been asked is whether its adoption "would be compatible with the Treaty of Rome". Until now some governments have maintained that an individual with a grievance against the Council (and its associated bodies) could not take action against it because it was not a "state" (nationals take a case against their own states).

Our work is only possible with your support.
