Critical briefing: the Chişinău Declaration
Last week, on Friday, 15 May, the Council of Europe adopted the Chişinău Declaration, a significant intervention on the European Court of Human Rights’ migration jurisprudence. The declaration affirms that there have been “significant, complex, migration-related challenges in various member States which were either unforeseen at the time the [European Convention on Human Rights] was drafted or have evolved significantly since then”. The process that produced the Chişinău Declaration began roughly a year ago, when Italy and Denmark, supported by seven other member states of the Council of Europe, formally requested a reassessment of the Strasbourg Court’s migration case law.

The declaration affirms that there have been “significant, complex, migration-related challenges in various member States which were either unforeseen at the time the [European Convention on Human Rights] was drafted or have evolved significantly since then”. While this Declaration does not amend the Convention or bind the Strasbourg Court to anything in particular, it is significant in that it gives unprecedented political credence to what the mass migration-sceptics have been saying for years: that the European Convention on Human Rights has produced situations across Europe whereby states are not able to have…
