Strasbourg – The Council of Europe’s Secretary, Alain Berset, strongly defended the independence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) during recent discussions. He emphasized that there should be no political pressure on the court, especially as debates on migration issues continue across Europe.
Alain Berset highlighted the crucial role of the ECHR in protecting human rights impartially across member countries. He reassured that the court operates without political influence and remains committed to justice and fairness.
This statement came in response to concerns raised by Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, who has criticized the ECHR amid ongoing migration challenges facing Italy and other European nations. The Council of Europe firmly rejected any attempts to undermine the court’s independence.
The ECHR’s role in Europe’s legal framework is vital to ensuring that human rights are respected regardless of political interests. Maintaining the court’s impartiality underlines the commitment of all member states to:
- Democracy
- The rule of law
