Towards the end of 2014, the European Court of Justice (ECJ) delivered its
Opinion (2/13) on whether the EU might accede to the European Convention
on Human Rights (ECHR) in the (near) future. In very clear words and using a
number of different arguments, the Court rejected this accession, at least under
the conditions laid down in the so-called Draft Accession Agreement (DAA)
that was concluded in 2013.
