As ECHR Blog editorial team, we have created a dedicated page, entitled ‘Future of the Convention‘, on which we keep track of the debates about the future of the Court and the Convention which started with the open letter of nine heads of government, focusing on migration but ranging broader, on 22 May 2025. It is meant to be a public-service resource for relevant documents and blog comments on these debates published on our blog. It includes relevant documents from states, the Council of Europe, academics and NGOs. We will keep adding resources to this page in the coming months. Keep an eye on the blog for commentaries on the current debates and take a look at the resource page!
