Summary/Abstract: When it comes to the EU accession to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms the article examines to what extent changes introduced under the Treaty of Lisbon do constitute an adequate legal basis for creating a coherent and consistent human rights protection system in Europe. Within that context, a particular emphasis has been placed on a critical analysis of the recently published Draft Agreement on the Accession of the European Union to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Although the accession of the European Union to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms has been intensively discussed for over thirty years, this issue again gains prominence as the ongoing accession process brings up complex difficulties involved in creating an adequate mechanism.
