No doubt this issue has already been thrashed out here but I'm new so be gentle.
Is there any credability to the claim that the EU Charter footnotes on article 2 of the Charter correspond to the decisions of the mentioned article of the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 (ECHR 1950) and the supplementary protocol which states:
a) Article 2 passage 2 ECHR 1950:
Deprivation of life shall not be regarded as inflicted in contravention of this article when it results from the use of force which is no more than absolutely necessary:
* (a) in defence of any person from unlawful violence;
* (b) in order to effect a lawful arrest or to prevent escape of a person lawfully detained;
* (c) in action lawfully taken for the purpose of quelling a riot or insurrection.
There is an article here on this matter:
