Là où la démocratie est un mode d’organisation du pouvoir, l’Etat de droit désigne un mode de limitation du pouvoir qui vise à empêcher l’arbitraire, afin de garantir la primauté de l’individu. (…) L’association des termes Recht (droit) et Staat (Etat), sous le neologisme Rechtsstaat (Etat de droit), a fait son apparition, pour la première […]
Peut-on parler d’une véritable campagne européenne alors que nul n’a tiré un bilan des acquis de la précédente législature? Comment intéresser les citoyens alors que l’on insiste davantage sur ce que l’Europe pourrait ou devrait faire, sans tirer un bilan de la législature qui vient de s’écouler. (…) (…) Tout ceci donne une campagne hors […]
Mostly, the ECtHR declares incompatible with the Convention the conduct of a State organ under the circumstances of a specific case. However, there are cases in which this conduct inevitably traces back to statutory provisions. The outcome of a judgment of the ECtHR might thus be, and every now and then is, that a domestic […]
The well-known Gorgulu decision of 2004 has not done away with that problem. This decision concerned the resistance of the ordinary courts to implement the ECtHR’s Gorgulu judgment. It had held that the applicant’s right to respect for his family life had been violated by refusing him custody and access to his son. It is […]
69. Although Article 3 of the Convention cannot be construed as laying down a general obligation to release detainees on health grounds, it nonetheless imposes an obligation on the State to protect the physical well-being of persons deprived of their liberty, for example by providing them with the requisite medical assistance (see Hurtado v.

La mise en place d’un dispositif de vidéosurveillance sur la voie publique constitue une ingérence dans le droit au respect de la vie privée définit par l’article 8 de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme. Cette ingérence étant, par sa nature même, limitée et proportionnée au regard de l’objectif poursuivi de recherche de la […]

30. The Government submitted four final judgments delivered by the courts concerning civil proceedings for damages brought by applicants against the State and/or various prosecutor offices for a breach of their rights to be presumed innocent and/or to honour and reputation, following press releases issues by the authorities with regard to the criminal proceedings opened […]
După-amiază a avut o scurtă întrevedere cu Nicolcioiu. Apoi a revenit Lina Ciobanu (15.41 – 15.50). Stenogramele oferă multe surprize. Ridiculizată adesea pentru „baza” de țesătoare și absența preocupărilor pentru eleganță, Lina Ciobanu dovedea mai mult curaj în a spune adevărul despre plan și realizări în ședința CPEx decât viitorii memoraliști cu mari pretenții de […]
Byron’s centenary, I confess, leaves me remarkably unmoved. There is a certain charm about the man; he was so candid and transparent in his egotism.
