Recognition of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights in relation to the control of the common foreign and security policy

Summary/Abstract: The Court of Justice of the European Union delivered its Opinion 2/13 on the compatibility of the Draft Agreement on the Accession of the European Union to the European Convention on Human Rights with European Union law in December 2014. The Opinion received significant criticism from academics and other professionals for many reasons, amounting to its uncompromising stance on the incompatibility of the Draft Acession Agreement with the European Union law. So far, the issue of recognition of the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights to judicial review in the area of foreign and security policy turned out to be the most disputable one. This issue will be analyzed in detail within this paper. The paper endeavors to answer the question posed by the Advocate General Kokott in her Opinion. It amounts to dilemma whether or not the principle of the autonomy of EU law can preclude the EU from recognizing the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights in the field of common foreign and security policy having in mind that the jurisdiction of the European Court of Human Rights in the same area extends further than that of the Court of Justice of the EU. To that end, the notion of specific characteristics of the EU law and the impact made by the restricted jurisdiction of the Court of Justice in the given field to the anticipated accession is to be examined.
