Council of Europe Urges Italy’s Meloni: No Political Pressure on ECHR

In Strasbourg, Alain Berset, Secretary of the Council of Europe, strongly emphasized the independence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). He underscored the crucial importance of maintaining the court’s impartiality, particularly amid the ongoing intense debates about migration policies.

This declaration was made in the context of escalating political tensions across Europe regarding migration and the enforcement of human rights. Berset pointed out that the ECHR must remain free from political pressure to guarantee justice and fairness for all individuals in its member states.

The statement also indirectly responded to concerns raised by Italy’s Prime Minister Meloni, reaffirming the Council of Europe’s dedication to upholding judicial independence. This insistence on the court’s autonomy highlights the broader necessity of preserving democratic values throughout Europe.
