Alapjogi jogesetek – a strasbourgi Emberi Jogok Európai Bírósága

Absztrakt

In the period between 15 March and 31 May 2017 the European Court of Human Rights closed three Hungarian cases with judgment. One of them concerned a lengthy pre-trial detention, the other the parental contact rights after divorce and the third one the just satisfaction awarded to a church deprived of its former full legal status. The review also presents a Chamber inadmissibility decision concerning a complaint about the alleged unavailability of cannabis-based medication in Hungary. As regards the cases against other countries, the subject matters covered by this review are quite various. They include the right to life (in particular in the context of the 2004 Beslan school siege), the prohibition of forced labour, the right to access to a lawyer, mentally disabled persons’ right to selfdetermination, the conditions of changing sexual identity, the obligations to investigate racially motivated crimes and, lastly, the obligations concerning elections and post-voting stages in particular.
