| Summary: |
The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), signed on 4 November 1950 in Rome, by the representatives of the Member States of the Council of Europe, allows individuals to sue their governments for violation of human rights. Despite its importance in guaranteeing the supreme interests of the person, 70 years after the signing of the ECHR, there are still many doubts regarding the real effectiveness that this Convention should have in the hierarchy of sources at national level. In Italy, some judges started disapplying national norms conflicting with the ECHR. But, in 2007, the Corte Costituzionale decided to put a stop to this trend, which constituted an undue ‘constitutional exception’ to constitutional supremacy and derogated from centralized constitutional review. This approach suffers some criticism. In order to ensure a real effectiveness of the ECHR system, there is a need to strengthen and enhance the authority of Convention rights at national level, also by ensuring rapid and effective implementation of the judgments of the Court. |
