The accession of the EU to the Convention on Human Rights is to be rejected for several reasons. Firstly, there is absolutely no need for it, as we already have the fundamental rights judicature of the Court of Justice of the European Union. Individuals can submit an action for annulment in order to get legal acts reviewed. In addition, since the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, we have had our own Charter of Fundamental Rights. Secondly – and I find this highly problematic – the EU will be subjecting itself to external scrutiny by the European Court of Human Rights. Quite apart from conflicts of competence with the Court of Justice of the European Union, how can we have a situation where our legal acts are reviewed by judges from Azerbaijan, Ukraine or Turkey? These countries are not in the EU, nor do they have much time for human rights. Lastly, with regard to content, do we really need a court that wants to nullify the Dublin II Agreement? Do we need a court that we have to fight right to the highest level in order to obtain permission to hang up crucifixes, a court that wanted to prohibit Italy from refusing to accept the influx of migrants into Lampedusa, or one that wanted to prohibit England from refusing to accept marriages of convenience? This far left judicature of the European Court of Human Rights is something we do not need."@en1
