In its December 7 decision in the case Linkov v. the Czech Republic, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) announced that the Czech Republic had violated the European Convention on Human Rights by denying the applicant freedom of assembly and association. In 2000, the Czech Republic had refused to register a political party founded by the applicant. According to the ECtHR, however, there was insufficient evidence that the party’s proclaimed goal of “breaking the legal continuity with totalitarian regimes†was designed to undermine the democracy of the country; as such, the administration could not justify its refusal to register the party.
