Court Annuls Decision to put PKK on EU terror list

Wow! This is a big one! Follows two previous decisions, in favour of the Iranian Mujahedin and the al Aqsa foundation.
Court of First Instance acting here, not the European Court of Human Rights. US observers may need a tutorial on supranational law in Europe. ECHR is a court that applies the Convention on Human Rights, signed back in 1951, to all states in Europe who signed it. Court of First instance is the second highest court in the European Union [which is not the whole of Europe, OK????]
