Russia prompts crisis of European justice

By William Horsley

BBC News, Strasbourg

At 50 years old, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg is sometimes held up as a model for the rest of the world - the only supranational court devoted to protecting individual human rights against abuses of state power.

But its future is now the subject of a highly sensitive debate that is also seen as a litmus test of Russia's long-term commitment to human rights and democracy.

The court's 10,000 rulings have held member states to account for unlawful killings, stifling freedom of expression and a host of other abuses - to the acute discomfort of the countries involved.

All 47 members of the Council of Europe have incorporated the European Convention on Human Rights in their national laws, accepting that the court's rulings ...

There are well founded fears that he was abducted by the Russian FSB agents who had infiltrated Georgia.
