The Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, better known as the European Convention on Human Rights, was opened for signature in Rome on 4 November 1950 and came into force in 1953. It was the first instrument to give effect to certain of the rights stated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and make them binding.

Since its adoption in 1950 the Convention has been amended a number of times and supplemented with many rights in addition to those set forth in the original text.

In the case of Dolińska-Ficek and Ozimek v. Poland the Court has found a violation of the right to a fair hearing.

In this case, one of 57 applications against Poland concerning various aspects of the reorganisation of the Polish judicial system initiated in 2017, two judges had argued that the Chamber of Extraordinary Review and Public Affairs of the Supreme Court, which had decided on cases concerning them, had not been a "tribunal established by law" and had lacked impartiality and independence.

The Court found that the procedure for appointing judges had been unduly influenced by the legislative and executive powers and that it was incompatible with the ECHR, thus compromising the legitimacy of that Chamber of the Supreme Court. It observed that it fell to the State of Poland to draw the necessary conclusions from this judgment and to take any individual or general measures as appropriate in order to resolve the problems at the root of the violations found by the Court and to prevent similar violations from taking place in the future.
