Switzerland breached European Convention in Al-Dulimi case
Bern, 21.6.2016 - Switzerland violated the right to a hearing when implementing the UN Security Council Resolutions connected with the embargo on Iraq. That was the judgment passed by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) by 15 votes to 2 and announced today in Strasbourg. The judgment is final and absolute, and upholds the decision in the same case made by a chamber of the ECHR on 26 November 2013. The Federal Office of Justice (FOJ), which represented the Swiss Government before the ECHR, acknowledges the Grand Chamber judgment with interest.
