The European Union's (EU) Treaty of Lisbon,in force since 1 December 2009,requires the EU to accede to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Such accession shall not affect the Union's competences as defined in the Treaties." The EU would thus be subject to its human rights law and external monitoring as its member states currently are. It is further proposed that the EU join as a member of the Council of Europe now that it has attained a single legal personality in the Lisbon Treaty.
