The Council of Europe, headquartered in Strasbourg, has urged Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni to refrain from exerting political pressure on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR). Alain Berset, Secretary of the Council of Europe, emphasized the vital importance of preserving the court’s independence and impartiality.
This appeal comes amid heightened debates over migration policies and recent rulings by the ECHR, which have sparked controversy across Europe.
Key Points from the Council of Europe
- The ECHR holds a crucial role in protecting human rights for member states.
- Political interference risks undermining the court’s ability to function with fairness and justice.
- The Council reaffirmed its commitment to the separation of powers to ensure judicial decisions remain free from outside influence.
The statement is a direct response to recent tensions involving migration-related rulings that faced criticism from some political figures. The Council of Europe remains steadfast in its defense of the ECHR as an independent judicial body fundamental to upholding democracy and the rule of law in Europe.
