Amid pending proceedings before the ECtHR concerning summary expulsions and arbitrary detentions, in a context marked by over 120,000 documented push-backs on the Belarusian border, the Chișinău Declaration seeks to influence the legal framework within which the Court assesses such practices. The Declaration emphasises the fundamental duty of states to protect their borders and maintain national security in the context of instrumentalisation of migration, drawing on “democracy capable of defending itself”. I argue that it is not a task for the Court to carve its decisions based on geopolitical circumstances.
