The requirement is in line with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Who cares about the opinions of a fascist? He should be disregarded and ostracized entirely. He will go to war with whomever he pleases anyway.
Playing along with him out of fear of attack is admitting defeat from the start. Fuck Putin and fuck his sub-human conservative supporters. Any threat that demands negotiation is a threat worth eliminating.

Normally I associate the ECHR (European Convention on Human Rights) and the ECHR (European Court of Human Rights) pretty closely – my understanding is that the latter normally deals with decisions regarding the former – but apparently one can be in the former and still deny jurisdiction to the latter.
The European Court of Human Rights, which enforces the European Convention on Human Rights, is the best known body of the Council of Europe.
