Azerbaijan is in the ECHR too; doesn't stop them from imprisoning political dissidents, employing slave labor, committing war crimes, attacking other ECHR members, or performing ethnic cleansing.

But ECHR rulings are binding to EU members (and the the various organs of the EU including the ECJ have way to enforce them). ECHR are also still binding in the UK because legislation that says otherwise hasn't been passed yet.
