In
all
three
cases
the
Court
resignedly
swallowed
the
pill
.

GIEM
and
Others
[
204

recently

It
is
sad
to
see
the
beacon
of
human
rights
and
of
criminal
law
reform
in
Europe
failing
to
uphold
the
basic
principle
of
the
rule
of
law
and
abandoning
the
most
fundamental
principles
of
modern
criminal
law
.
Illiberal
times
call
for
a
strong
,
counter
-
majoritarian
Court
,
not
an
illiberal
Court
.
This
is
particularly
so
in
the
light
of
the
teachings
of
international
and
comparative
law
,
as
it
will
be
subsequently
demonstrated
.
