#BananaRepublic: It is unclear if the #British government would abide by the European Court of #HumanRights (#ECtHR) decision — even though it is obligated to do so — if it ruled against #extradition, or if the U.K. would extradite Julian before an appeal to the European court can be heard.

Very powerful commentary last week by Maximilian Steinbeis, which adds another brick in the wall of rule of law violations in the EU, the migration and asylum dimension. Difficult not to note that populism is driving rule of law breaches

Whistleblower Judgment #ECtHR Grand Chamber

... may have an effect on #whistleblowing in the 46 #CE member states.
E. g. #Switzerland, which is not #whistleblower friendly according to the #Beobachter.

"Overall, the Grand Chamber’s #judgment can be seen as a victory for all unsung heroes, who blew the #whistle and suffered retaliation, #blacklisting and #demotion. The Court sent a message that #whistleblowers should be heard and not suppressed."

In light of several recent judgments, I wrote for @voelkerrechtsblog about the future of sexual orientation and gender identity cases before the ECtHR, the role of European Consensus, and a reorientation towards queer horizons.

BREAKING: #ECtHR finds Eastern #Ukraine and #MH17 case against #Russia mostly admissible. Beyond reasonable doubt that Russia military were active in #Donbas from April 2014 and under Russian jurisdiction since 11 May 2014. Large-scale deployment Russian troops since Aug 2014.

This decision of the #ECtHR will become an argument for other lawsuits, as well as help build a system of punishment against #Russia for violating the territorial integrity of #Ukraine.

The #ECtHR will issue its decision today on whether it will consider the merits of the Netherlands’ inter-State application against Russia regarding the downing of flight #MH17.

The NL 🇳🇱 is arguing that Russia played a key role in the downing of flight MH17.

#Denmark's outright ban on adoption in the context of a commercial #surrogacy agreement violated the rights of two children born to a surrogate mother, the European Court of #HumanRights (#ECtHR) has ruled.

Dear #legal fediverse:

Is it just me (a non-lawyer) or is it weird that everyone celebrates the #ECtHR's #Handyside v UK judgement of 1976 for this one phrase (in which the Court confirms that freedom of expression includes speech that shocks, offends, or disturbs) but then the Court goes on and permits the censorship of "The Little Red Schoolbook" anyway because it offended the morals of the time?

What am I missing? 🤔

#LawFedi #Law #HumanRights #ECHR #ECtHR folks:

Would you agree that using the term "systems duty" to refer to the positive obligation to have a regulatory and administrative framework in place to prevent violations of the ECHR is primarily a British phenomenon? I first saw the term in British judgments, and it doesn't appear to be used in the ECtHR's own materials or judgments.

Prominent Brexiteer and advocate of leaving the #ECHR, #OwenPaterson, is taking the #UKgovernment to the #ECtHR claiming that his Article 8 rights were infringed, as the “public finding that he had breached the code of conduct damaged his good reputation, and that the process by which the allegations against him were investigated and considered was not fair in many basic respects”.
