36Admittedly, as the General Court observed in paragraph 173 of the judgment under appeal, Ukraine is among those States that have acceded to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, signed in Rome on 4 November 1950. However, although a circumstance of that nature entails review, by the European Court of Human Rights, of the fundamental rights guaranteed by that convention, which, in accordance with Article 6(3) TEU, form part of EU law as general principles, it cannot render superfluous verification, by the Council, that the decision of a third State on which it bases its restrictive measures has been taken in compliance with fundamental rights and in particular the rights of the defence and the right to effective judicial protection.
