Letter: In the dock over courts
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Journalists should learn the difference between the European Court of Human Rights, based in Strasbourg, and the European Court of Justice in Luxembourg ("Gypsies poised to win Euro victory", 15 September).
The Court of Human Rights rules on breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, including birching in the Isle of Man and refusing travellers the right to live on their own land. It is nothing to do with the European Union.
The European Court of Justice decides on breaches of the treaties and legislative acts of the European Union, such as the rights of Spanish fishermen or the banning of cattle imports.
We have a right to expect journalists to be more accurate.
