- The ECtHR finally decided SS v Italy; a case that has spawned dozens of scholarly articles since its submission in 2018. The outcome is highly worrying for migrant rights, but at the same time hardly surprising given the court’s previous case law on extraterritorial jurisdiction 🧵1/6 20jurisd.pdf
- From its outset the claimants pushed a constructive notion of extraterritorial jurisdiction, which if accepted would have created a precedent whereby jurisdiction could be established in a much wider set of scenarios involving international cooperation, not just migration control
- At the same time, the Court has come under increasing political pressure on migration issues in recent years, leading it to stall and even backtrack on its previous jurisprudence - see eg eumigrationlawblog.eu/adjudicating...
