Thu 22nd Jul 2010
The International Court of Justice has ruled that Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008 did not violate international law.

Sarah debates the EU's accession to the European Convention on Human Rights and enforcement of its judgements in the European Parliament
Fri 16th Jul 2010
Question by Joanna Senyszyn: The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has recently delivered several rulings regarding legal provisions in Poland which are in breach of the European Convention on Human Rights. Hitherto, the question of how ECHR rulings are implemented by EU Member States which are also members of the Council of Europe has been a matter for each individual Member State. Will the anticipated accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights alter this situation and, in particular, are there any plans to introduce EU mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of ECHR rulings by Member States of the European Union which are also members of the Council of Europe?
