Ya han pasado 60 años desde que el 4 de noviembre de 1950, los 12 Estados miembros del Consejo de Europa suscribieron en Roma the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, precedida por la firma el 5 de mayo de 1949 del Estatuto del Consejo de Europa cuyo art. 3 “reconoce el principio del imperio del Derecho y **el principio en virtud** del cual cualquier persona que se halle bajo su jurisdicción ha de gozar de los derechos humanos y de las libertades fundamentales”,

The official version
No one appears to have actually looked up the wording! It says:
Every member of the Council of Europe must accept the principles of the rule of law and of the enjoyment by all persons within its jurisdiction of human rights and fundamental freedoms...

It was drawn up in London, so quite possibly written in English and then translated.

the principle by virtue of which
la frase completa a traducir sería: "el principio en virtud del cual"
you can google "the principle by virtue of which" between quotes, and see the results for yourself, just to double check
