The ECHR is a treaty, not a constitution.
- dathinab 4y agoBut all EU members auto include it into their constitution or at least law. Through not necessary the ECHR but a more general term of "human rights" but that is legally basically the same as long as they don't exit the treaty. Even Russia did so until a few years ago (through they kinda ignored it at the same time, too). E.g. it's §1 of the German constitution (yes the very first "law" in the constitution).
