Dynamische Auslegung der EMRK Tyrer v. United Kingdom (1978), application No. 5856/72, Series A, Vol. 26, 4 (15) „The Court must also recall that the Convention is a living instrument which, as the Commission rightly stressed, must be interpreted in the light of present day conditions. In the case before it, the Court cannot but be influenced by the developments and commonly accepted standards in the penal policy of the Member States of the Council of Europe in this field“

Individualbeschwerden Art. 34 ECHR (Individual applications) The Court may receive applications from any person, nongovernmental organisation or group of individuals claiming to be the victim of a violation by one of the High Contracting Parties of the rights set forth in the Convention or the Protocols thereto. The High Contracting Parties undertake not to hinder in any way the effective exercise of this right. Individual applications.

Verhältnis EGMR – nationale Rechtsordnung (1) BVerfGE 74, 358 (369) – „Unschuldsvermutung“ „Bei der Auslegung des Grundgesetzes sind auch Inhalt und Entwicklungsstand der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention in Betracht zu ziehen, sofern dies nicht zu einer Einschränkung oder Minderung des Grundrechtsschutzes nach dem Grundgesetz führt, eine Wirkung, die die Konvention indes selbst ausgeschlossen wissen will (Art. 60 EMRK). Deshalb dient insoweit auch die Rechtsprechung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte als Auslegungshilfe für die Bestimmung von Inhalt und Reichweite von Grundrechten und rechtsstaatlichen Grundsätzen des Grundgesetzes. Auch Gesetze - hier die Strafprozeßordnung - sind im Einklang mit den völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland auszulegen und anzuwenden, selbst wenn sie zeitlich später erlassen worden sind als ein geltender völkerrechtlicher Vertrag; denn es ist nicht anzunehmen, daß der Gesetzgeber, sofern er dies nicht klar bekundet hat, von völkerrechtlichen Verpflichtungen der Bundesrepublik Deutschland abweichen oder die Verletzung solcher Verpflichtungen ermöglichen will.“

Verhältnis EGMR – nationale Rechtsordnung (2) Görgülü-Beschluss, BVerfGE 111, 307 (R. 47) „Zur Bindung an Gesetz und Recht gehört aber auch die Berücksichtigung der Gewährleistungen der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention und der Entscheidungen des Gerichtshofs im Rahmen methodisch vertretbarer Gesetzesauslegung. Sowohl die fehlende Auseinandersetzung mit einer Entscheidung des Gerichtshofs als auch deren gegen vorrangiges Recht verstoßende schematische "Vollstreckung" können deshalb gegen Grundrechte in Verbindung mit dem Rechtsstaatsprinzip verstoßen.“

Verhältnis EGMR – nationale Rechtsordnung (3) BVerfG, 2 BvR 2365/09 vom 4.5.2011 – „Sicherungsverwahrung“ Leitsätze, 2c) „Grenzen der völkerrechtsfreundlichen Auslegung ergeben sich aus dem Grundgesetz. Die Berücksichtigung der Europäischen Menschenrechtskonvention darf nicht dazu führen, dass der Grundrechtsschutz nach dem Grundgesetz eingeschränkt wird; das schließt auch die Europäische Menschenrechtskonvention selbst aus (vgl. Art. 53 EMRK). Dieses Rezeptionshemmnis kann vor allem in mehrpoligen Grundrechtsverhältnissen relevant werden, in denen das „Mehr“ an Freiheit für den einen Grundrechtsträger zugleich ein „Weniger“ für den anderen bedeutet. Die Möglichkeiten einer völkerrechtsfreundlichen Auslegung enden dort, wo diese nach den anerkannten Methoden der Gesetzesauslegung und Verfassungsinterpretation nicht mehr vertretbar erscheint“.

NATO Article 5 North Atlantic Treaty The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. Any such armed attack and all measures taken as a result thereof shall immediately be reported to the Security Council. Such measures shall be terminated when the Security Council has taken the measures necessary to restore and maintain international peace and security .

NATO Article 4 North Atlantic Treaty The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened.

NATO Article 6 (1) For the purpose of Article 5, an armed attack on one or more of the Parties is deemed to include an armed attack: - on the territory of any of the Parties in Europe or North America, on the Algerian Departments of France (2), on the territory of or on the Islands under the jurisdiction of any of the Parties in the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer; - on the forces, vessels, or aircraft of any of the Parties, when in or over these territories or any other area in Europe in which occupation forces of any of the Parties were stationed on the date when the Treaty entered into force or the Mediterranean Sea or the North Atlantic area north of the Tropic of Cancer.

NATO Strategic Concept 2010 […] This Strategic Concept will guide the next phase in NATO’s evolution, so that it continues to be effective in a changing world, against new threats, with new capabilities and new partners It commits the Alliance to prevent crises, manage conflicts and stabilize post-conflict situations, including by working more closely with our international partners, most importantly the United Nations and the European Union. It offers our partners around the globe more political engagement with the Alliance, and a substantial role in shaping the NATO-led operations to which they contribute. It commits NATO to continuous reform towards a more effective, efficient and flexible Alliance, so that our taxpayers get the most security for the money they invest in defence.

by NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson Statement by NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson 2 October 2001 The facts are clear and compelling. The information presented points conclusively to an Al-Qaida role in the 11 September attacks. We know that the individuals who carried out these attacks were part of the world-wide terrorist network of Al-Qaida, headed by Osama bin Laden and his key lieutenants and protected by the Taleban. On the basis of this briefing, it has now been determined that the attack against the United States on 11 September was directed from abroad and shall therefore be regarded as an action covered by Article 5 of the Washington Treaty, which states that an armed attack on one or more of the Allies in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all.
