Which of the following is NOT a principle included in the European Convention on Human Rights?
Correct Answer: Prohibition of immoral thoughts
"Prohibition of immoral thoughts" is not a principle of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR protects tangible rights and freedoms — it cannot and does not attempt to regulate private thoughts.
The genuine ECHR principles include the prohibition of torture (Article 3), freedom of expression (Article 10), and the prohibition of slavery and forced labour (Article 4). The Convention was drawn up in 1950 and came into force in 1953; the UK was one of its founding signatories.
