Alapjogi jogesetek – a strasbourgi Emberi Jogok Európai Bírósága

Abstract

Among the cases heard recently by the European Court of Human Rights, arguably the most complex and most important one was the Lambert case concerning the withdrawal of life-sustaining treatments. Besides a comprehensive review of that case, this paper summarises a Hungarian decision concerning the execution of the Strasbourg Court’s judgments, as well as cases concerning other countries, pertaining to the issues of forced labour, scrutiny of pre-trial detentions, service of judicial decisions, protection of witnesses’ personal integrity and the right of appeal in criminal matters.
