Abstract
Every Member State of the Council of Europe must adapt its legislation in order to comply with the requirements of the European Convention on Human Rights. In the early years, the adaptation was reasonably simple as the Convention only broadly indicated the human rights to be respected. Over the years, however, the European Court of Human Rights has refined the Convention into far greater detail which means that the Convention implies ever more detailed rules and therefore requires ever more adaptation of the Member States.
One of the purposes of the Budapest Seminar is to study problems with which new Member States of the Council of Europe will be confronted at the present time. It is impossible to discuss all aspects of every article of the Convention. I shall, therefore, limit this report to six issues, not necessarily the most important ones, but each of them meriting further discussion in my opinion.
