H« ελληνική υπόθεση» στο Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης: Η διεθνής προστασία των ανθρωπίνων δικαιωμάτων στην Ελλάδα μετά την 21 η Απριλίου 1967 ως αντικείμενο διεθνούς διαφοράς

Abstract

The «Greek case» is typical of human rights protection through state application. The course of the procedure before the political organs of the Council of Europe drove Greece to withdraw from the organisation. However, the military regime had already advanced before the European Commission of Human Rights its legal arguments about the protection of human rights in Greece since the April 1967 coup. The opinion of the Commission on numerous violations of human rights provided the legal basis for the relations between Greece, the Council of Europe and the EEC. Moreover, a number of provisions in the present Greek constitution concerning the protection of human rights, as well as those related to the prosecution of the ringleaders of the military coup may be seen as a distant echo of the «Greek case» in the domestic legal order.
