True, but the EU member states are members of it, and while complicated, ECHR rulings are generally respected by members and the EU. Why make things simple, right? :-)

    Again, they they are completely different organizations. It's not a question of simplicity or complexity.

    The ECHR looks to address human rights issues with the cooperation of its 46 member states.

    The EU is (mostly) a trade union comprising of 27 member states.

    The UN, NATO, and WTO also have many European member states and again are different organizations.
