STATUTE OF THE COUNCIL OF EUROPE
Article 3
Every member of the Council of Europe must accept the principles of the rule of law and of the enjoyment by all persons within its jurisdiction of human rights and fundamental freedoms, and collaborate sincerely and effectively in the realisation of the aim of the Council as specified in Chapter I.
Article 8
Any member of the Council of Europe which has seriously violated Article 3 may be suspended from its rights of representation and requested by the Committee of Ministers to withdraw under Article 7. If such member does not comply with this request, the Committee may decide that it has ceased to be a member of the Council as from such date as the Committee may determine.

26 April 2011
It is arguable that a reading of other Member States to the Council of Europe speechs at the Izir Conference run contrary to Ken Clarke sticking out a British stiff upper lip.
The UK is acting like a stubborn mule.
The UK must get past its sticking point. And fully comply with Hirst v UK (No2).
