Exporting the European Convention on Human Rights
Translated title:
Exporting the European Convention on Human Rights
Summary:
Under the global spread of human rights instruments, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) remains the ultimate beacon for the protection of human rights worldwide. As a horizontal study of regional and global systems, the present thesis seeks to document the unequivocal influence of the ECHR and the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights(ECtHR) within the confines of other legal orders.
Part I examines the exportation of ECHR to the EU legal order and thus, addresses the interrelationship of the ECtHR with the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). Post-Lisbon, the academic and institutional conversation concerning the ambitious accession of the EU to the ECHR has marked the recent jurisprudence οf both mechanisms. This examination is twofold: Chapter A of this thesis sheds light on the direct application of the ECHR by the CJEU. Chapter B continues with exploring the CJEU’s judgments in which human rights are prioritized over EU rules and the occasions on which this Court has treated the ECHR as a restriction mechanism of EU law.
In Part II, the research aims to ascertain the form that the normative and jurisprudential influence of the ECHR to regional and global human rights systems has taken. Chapter A adresses the direct application of Strasbourg human rights norms by the IACtHR and the convergence or the divergence that occurs. The first section addresses the direct import of ECtHR’s standards by the said Court that go across horizontally the entire compendium of the IACtHR’s cases. The second section traces the legal fields in which the latter has broken new ground and has achieved to expand the protection correspondingly offered by its European peer. Subsequently, Chapter B is devoted to the tacit interplay between the ECtHR and the Human Rights Committee.
This thesis discusses whether, how and with what legal consequences the ECHR norms, as interpreted by the Strasbourg Court, affect other regional or global legal orders as well as the methodology of the judicial dialogue between their enforcement mechanisms. Overall, it draws useful conclusions from the special features of such a dialogue so as to explore what does this indicate about the overall functioning of the international human rights law discourse.
