Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine whether the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has helped diffuse convention-friendly policy approaches to the benefit of migrants’ and asylum seekers’ rights in Greece. From the late 1990s onwards, a growing case law was derived from applications lodged by migrants, which has considerably increased since 2007. Migrants’ legal mobilisation before the ECtHR has exposed a number of shortcomings in the protection of their rights. It is unclear, however, whether the Court’s rulings have served to promote a reinforced human rights paradigm in the development of policies affecting migrants and asylum seekers in the country. The analysis investigates the implementation of the ECtHR’s judgments, evaluating the principal measures that the Greek state has so far adopted to comply with the Court’s pronouncements.
