I thought that ECHR judgments were not enforceable.

In case of a real conflict of judgements, the one granting more rights to the individual should be enforced.

In this case the conflict is more apparent than real. The judgments are conflicting in their conclusions, but the arguments they are based are not conflicting. As you pointed out they are based on different articles of law and principles.

It must be more important for The Times and Malta Today to raise Franco Debono’s profile (not that he needs any help) in the wake of the current political game, than to act as proper journalists and inform their readers of the ECHR decision on the matter. Well done, Daphne.

[Daphne – I can’t really accept the praise, because I had help.]

For the moment, the sky is the limit – tomorrow, the distant ever receding boundaries of the universe torn apart by the Big Bang!

This is pretty complex, and I will have to re-read. But meanwhile, we should consider roping in Mary Mifsud of the timesonline comments board. Gotblesss, she is an expert on these matters.
