Mrs Airey wanted to be legally separated from her husband, who was allegedly a violent alcoholic. However, there was no legal aid and she could not afford the lawyers’ fees. The European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg ruled that the lack of legal aid effectively denied Mrs Airey access to a court, breaching her basic rights. Legal aid for such cases was introduced in Ireland in the following year.

80 years ago, Europe lay in ruins. Out of the rubble, an idea took hold: a united Europe, a Europe of peace. By uniting their coal and steel production, six countries began turning that dream into reality. Over the years, more countries joined and the cooperation intensified. But that dream cannot be taken for granted. It requires constant work – today more than ever. ----------------------- 🔔Subscribe - www.youtube.com/user/eucouncil ----------------------- Follow us: ➡️Instagram - instagram.com/eucouncil ➡️Facebook - facebook.com/eucouncil ➡️X - https://x.com/EUCouncil

Democracy. Memory. Multilateralism. Accountability. Words that once defined the postwar order — now dismissed as elitist, “woke,” or dead. In his first U.S. address, Council of Europe Secretary General Alain Berset challenges a world where democracy is seen as weakness, truth as opinion, and justice as optional. Drawing on Europe’s response to war in Ukraine, peace in the South Caucasus, tensions in the Balkans, democratic decline across the continent, and its evolving role on the global stage, Berset argues that the European and global postwar order must be renewed. He calls for a new doctrine of democratic security, where rights, independent institutions, and public trust are not symbolic values but strategic assets. At a time when the transatlantic bond is tested by isolationism and drift, Berset asks what kind of Europe must emerge in a world no longer held together by shared assumptions — and whether democracy can still defend itself in a present where the old world is gone, the new one hasn’t yet arrived, and the very idea of long-term responsibility is vanishing before our eyes.

Oui, encore ! En huit ans, nous avons bâti une Europe plus souveraine, plus unie et plus démocratique. Restons mobilisés, ensemble, pour préparer l’avenir.
