Over two months after the publication of the Report by the European Centre for Law and Justice (ECLJ), new voices are being raised every day to denounce conflicts of interest between judges of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) and NGOs funded by George Soros, including the rich and highly controversial Open Society. As a reminder, this report revealed that 18 judges ruled 88 times in cases brought or supported by these NGOs of which they had previously been collaborators or leaders, in serious violation of judicial ethics. In any State under the rule of law, the perpetrator of such breaches would face severe disciplinary sanctions, and the cases in question would have to be retried.

January 10, 2020: Compulsory Vaccination: The Grand Chamber of the ECHR Will Decide

The ECLJ has neither competence nor pretension to rule on the value or the inappropriateness of vaccines in general and does not encourage the refusal of vaccines. However, it seems that the goal sought by compulsory vaccination can be achieved through less restrictive measures which are more respectful of the fundamental rights and freedoms of parents.

It is up to the Grand Chamber of the European Court to decide.

 

 

June 21, 2019 – Custody of Wunderlich Challenged By Authorities

The same court which ordered the removal of the Wunderlich children in 2013, has again challenged the custody of the children by demanding proof of their school attendance.

The Wunderlich family were summoned to a court in Darmstadt, Germany, last week. The two younger children, who are still minors, and their parents were questioned in two separate hearings over two days.

Despite the right of parents to direct the education of their children being protected in international law, Dirk and Petra Wunderlich awoke one morning in 2013 to discover that more than 30 German police officers and social workers had come to seize custody of their four children.

The Wunderlich family has been in and out of court ever since, fighting to ensure respect for this fundamental right. Now, once again, they are fighting to keep custody of their children.

Please continue to pray for the Wunderlich family. Having brought their case to the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights, the highest level of the court, they wait for confirmation that it will be heard.

A good decision there would better protect the right of parents to direct the upbringing of their children in Germany and across Europe.

January 14, 2019 – The German Government Forcibly Removed These Children From Their Parents Over Homeschooling

In its decision last week, the European Court of Human Rights has undermined its claim to being the “conscience of Europe” and pitted parents against children. The court was set up to adjudicate disputes between individuals and the state, and yet it misframes this case as one in which the courts must mediate between parent and child: “[International law] requires that a fair balance must be struck between the interests of the child and those of the parent.”

The overt assumptions here—that parents do not have their children’s best interests at heart, and that the state knows better—should trouble any parent, whether your children are educated at home or at school.
