Resumen de The convergence of the european legal system in the Treatment of third country nationals in Europe: the ECJ and ECtHR jurisprudence

Sonia Morano Foadi, Stelios Andreadakis

• This article, based on a broader project, focuses on the interaction between the two European Courts (the Court of Justice of the European Union � ECJ and the European Court of Human Rights � ECtHR) and uses the specific area of expulsion/deportation of third country nationals (non-EU nationals) from European territory as a case study. The work examines the ECJ�s and ECtHR�s divergent approaches in this area of law, and it then provides some preliminary reflections on the potential of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights and the EU�s accession to the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) to achieve a more harmonious and convergent human rights system in Europe. It finally argues that the post-Lisbon era has the potential to enhance the protection of fundamental rights within the continent.
