The EU and Russia in the Pan-European Human Rights Regime

Original language description

This chapter examines the European Court of Human Rights as an international institutional context of the EU–Russia relationship. It proceeds by first reviewing the literature on international human rights regimes and their efficacy. Then the chapter reviews cooperation between the EU and Russia, followed by an examination of the role of the European Court of Human Rights. Finally, findings and their implications are discussed.nGiven the current geopolitical situation, the possibilities for cooperation between the EU and Russia on human rights are limited. For a long time, the EU and the broader international community were willing to downplay human rights violations inside Russia in order to justify maintaining cooperation and dialogue. However, Russian actions in Ukraine (including Crimea) elicited a stronger stance. Until the Russian position vis-á-vis the ECtHR and the Council of Europe changes, involving at least some degree of domestic compliance and implementation beyond monetary compliance, the Council of Europe does not offer a place for dialogue on human rights between Russia and the EU.nThe current situation exemplifies an interesting paradox: although Europe overall became more democratic and friendlier towards human rights, especially in the last two decades, the pan-European human rights regime is facing significant challenges in terms of non-compliance by states and new institutional hurdles. This issue accompanies the paradox in which transnational human rights litigation continues to grow significantly, due to the empowerment of citizens, but the transnational human rights regime itself is being challengednnn
