Such
an
approach
would
have
excessively
restricted
the
scope
of
Article
7
,
and
,
furthermore
,
would
have
allowed
the
State
to
escape
that
provision
(
from
which
no
derogation
is
permissible
under
Article
15
of
the
Convention
,
whereas
the
reinforced
protection
laid
down
in
the
latter
provision
is
not
applicable
to
Article
5
)
by
merely
laying
down
in
its
legislation
that
certain
detention
measures
did
not
come
under
criminal
law
.
It
would
be
underestimating
the
Court
’s
power
and
duty
to
confer
an
autonomous
meaning
on
the
concepts
used
in
the
Convention
,
which
process
is
vital
if
the
Court
is
to
apply
the
same
standards
to
all
member
States
(
and
which
also
prevents
States
from
attempting
to
elude
the
application
of
the
Convention
,
or
of
specific
provisions
thereof
,
by
resorting
to
abusive
or
erroneous
characterisations
)
