The Council of Europe has firmly asserted its stance against any form of political pressure on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in Strasbourg. Alain Berset, the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, emphasized the necessity of maintaining the ECHR’s independence and impartiality.
This statement arises amid ongoing debates regarding migration policies across Europe. Berset underscored that the ECHR must remain free from political influence to preserve its ability to deliver fair and unbiased judgments. The court is vital in protecting human rights for millions across the continent.
Despite growing political tensions, the Council of Europe is committed to:
- Upholding the court’s neutrality
- Safeguarding democracy
- Promoting the rule of law
The Council appealed to all European leaders, including Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, to respect the court’s independence. It emphasized that no political pressure should affect the court’s decisions.
