Up and until this very moment, I was very supportive of criticism of the EU and still am. Yet when you gentlemen can't even get your institutions in order...ones that probably saved you a lot of trouble during the years...then one has no other option than to consider the possibility that there is more hot steam, than there is any real criticism or real suggestions for reform.
ECHR is part of the Council of Europe, an institution set up in 1948, whose primary goal is to protect human rights in Europe and it has done so. The fact that certain rulings are considered positive and the others not, is something natural to the rule of law. I am certain that you do not always agree with the rulings of your national courts, then why do you assault only the international, or in this case, regional ones?
I understand and I agree, that dangerous individuals are not to be on the streets. Yet this does not, in any way, invalidate the positive contribution to the state of Europe by the CoE and the ECHR.
