The Council of Europe has urged Italy’s Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, to refrain from applying political pressure on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Alain Berset, Secretary of the Council of Europe, strongly defended the court’s independence, underscoring the importance of maintaining its impartiality amid ongoing debates on migration policies across Europe.
Alain Berset highlighted the crucial role that the European Court of Human Rights plays in protecting human rights for all member states. He warned that interfering with the court’s independence due to the heated migration discussions could detract from its credibility and overall effectiveness.
The Italian government has recently voiced concerns regarding certain ECHR rulings related to migration, raising tensions on the matter. However, the Council of Europe emphasized that:
- Respect for judicial independence is essential.
- Upholding the rule of law and human rights remains a fundamental priority.
This call from the Council of Europe highlights the ongoing challenges Europe faces in balancing effective migration management while safeguarding fundamental rights. It reinforces both the authority of the European Court of Human Rights and the Council’s unwavering commitment to impartial justice.
