Probably the most efficient system of protection of human rights is in Europe, under the Council of Europe and it relies on European Convention of Human Rights whose application is looked after by the European Court of Human Rights. Through its long history of sixty years, this protection system has succeeded to acquire a very high level of authority. However, that great jurisdiction of the Court is quite unusual within the field of international law and a frequent question appears to be the relation between national law and law that emerges from the practice of the Court. The whole system is of a specific nature. Besides that, many point that this system is overthrowing the traditional concept of sovereignty. It seems, however, that the problem is wrongly constructed. Specifically, ECHR doesn’t “take” sovereignty from the states yet the cooperation between the states, in the domain of human rights, is their obligation that doesn’t by any means interfere with their other jurisdictions. Acceptance of the decisions and acknowledgement of the authority of the ECHR is a matter of convention and states are selflimiting their competence in the area of human rights for the sake of their fully development. The concern for growth of human rights is an obligation that can’t be avoided referring to sovereignty because otherwise their development wouldn’t have progressed.
