In
the
present
case
the
chief
issue
that
has
arisen
and
been
the
subject
of
argument
,
is
whether
the
Convention
provides
in
favour
of
private
persons
and
entities
a
right
of
access
to
the
courts
of
law
in
the
various
countries
parties
to
it
.
It
is
agreed
-
and
admitted
in
the
Court
’s
Judgment
(
paragraph
28
)
-
that
the
only
provision
that
could
have
any
relevance
for
this
purpose
-
Article
6
,
paragraph
1
(
art
.
6
-
1
)
-
does
not
directly
or
in
terms
give
expression
to
such
a
right
.
Nevertheless
this
right
is
read
into
the
Convention
on
the
basis
partly
of
general
considerations
external
to
Article
6.1
(
art
.
6
-
1
)
as
such
,
partly
of
inferences
said
to
be
required
by
its
provisions
themselves
.
But
before
entering
upon
this
matter
there
arises
first
an
important
preliminary
issue
upon
which
the
question
of
the
very
applicability
of
this
Article
(
art
.
6
-
1
)
and
of
the
relevance
of
the
whole
problem
of
access
depends
.
There
exists
also
another
preliminary
point
of
this
order
,
consideration
of
which
is
however
more
conveniently
postponed
until
later
