In the case of Staatssecretaris van Justitie en Veiligheid (\u00c9loignement – Cannabis th\u00e9rapeutique)<\/em> (C-69\/21, 22.11.2022), the CJEU ruled on the lawfulness under the Return Directive (2008\/115) of a return procedure<\/strong> initiated in the Netherlands against a Russian national who developed a rare form of blood cancer<\/strong> the treatment of which consists, inter alia, of the administration of medical cannabis for analgesic purposes, which is forbidden in Russia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The CJEU dealt with that issue inter alia from the perspective of the prohibition of ill-treatment<\/strong> (Article 4 of the EU-Charter) and the right to protection of private life<\/strong> (Article 7 of the EU-Charter). In light of Article 52(3) of the EU-Charter, both provisions were found to have the same meaning and scope as the corresponding provisions of the Convention, Articles 3 and 8 respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As regards the impact of Article 4 of the EU-Charter on the return decision at issue, a striking feature of this judgment is its extensive reliance on Strasbourg case-law<\/strong>, notably Paposhvili v. Belgium<\/a><\/em> and Savran v. Denmark<\/a><\/em>, which are the leading cases on the deportation of seriously ill persons considered under Article 3 of the Convention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is another illustration of the “toolbox function” <\/strong>fulfilled by the Convention when Strasbourg case-law is used to fill lacunae in EU legislation or case-law<\/strong> (for another example, see Spetsializirana prokuratura(trial of an absconded suspect)<\/a><\/em>). This kind of reliance on the Convention, which is to be welcomed as an important contribution to the coherence of European fundamental rights protection<\/strong>, is to be distinguished from the “benchmark function<\/strong>” of the Convention, which is less frequently mentioned and refers to the fact that pursuant to Article 52(3) of the EU-Charter, the Convention protection level also applies under EU law<\/strong> (as recently applied in Politsei- ja Piirivalveamet<\/a><\/em>, \u00a7\u00a7 47 et seq.).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
