An interdisciplinary exploration of the impact of the ‘Greek Case’ at the Council of Europe (1969) on the emerging field of human rights.
In 1969, Greece withdrew from the Council of Europe (CoE) following pressure from various European countries, organisations, social movements, and individuals. This was in response to the brutal conduct of the military junta that had taken power by force on 21 April 1967.
This volume brings together an international cast of noted historians, oral historians, political scientists, and legal scholars to investigate the perceptions, policies, and roles of the key actors involved. These figures range from international organisations, states, and social movements to NGOs and individuals, critically demonstrating the extent of the legacy and long-term impact of the ‘Greek Case’ on international human rights.
The 1969 ‘Greek Case’ in the Council of Europe reveals how the pressure applied by the Council of Europe proved to be crucial for the international condemnation of the Colonels’ regime. It set a precedent in international human rights cases for the significance of the collection of evidence on the use of torture.
