« As we face today’s complex challenges, our task is not to weaken the Convention, but to keep it strong and relevant — to ensure that liberty and security, justice and responsibility, are held in balance. That is the legacy we inherit. And it is the duty we share »

« The ECtHR is not an external body. It is the legal arm of the Council of Europe — created by our member states, established by sovereign choice, and bound by a Convention that all 46 members have freely signed and ratified. It exists to protect the rights and values they committed to defend »

⚖️ The top EU court issued an important ruling on judicial pay last Tuesday, setting a key precedent. In this blog post on Verfassungsblog, I examine why Hungary’s judicial salaries falls short of EU requirements and argue that both the European Commission and Hungarian judges should act.
