Cede sovereignty is probably going a bit far with that example. We signed up to adhere to the convention and any rulings are over seen by the court for it.
The EHCR does not propose or impose law. But I take your point.
Another interesting example is OSPAR, another entity we will still be party to after Brexit.
They do propose propose decisions that member states may be expected to enact into law.
Most of the lauded environmental law that the Greens and so forth lay at the EU door, is in fact from OSPAR and not the EU. Another myth dispelled.
