유럽인권협약 제2조 생명권의 해석과 적용에 관한 연구

Abstract

This study examines the interpretation and application of Article 2, the right to life, which is one of the most central rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights. It is universally recognized that the right to life represents a fundamental right of all human beings and that its proper understanding and protection is a fundamental basis for individual freedom and respect for human rights. The European Convention on Human Rights is an important document that ensures that individuals in Europe are guaranteed their fundamental rights and freedoms as human beings. Article 2, the right to life, is at the heart of the Convention and guarantees one of the most fundamental rights that every human being has. However, the understanding and application of this right to life can raise complex issues in different social and political contexts. For this reason, this study aims to provide an in-depth examination of the complexities of the right to life. The aim is to examine the role of the right to life in ensuring human dignity and promoting social justice through the case law of the European Court of Human Rights. Based on this, the general concept of the right to life and the interpretation of the right to life by the European Court of Human Rights will be introduced in the next chapter, followed by an analysis of the Court's main decisions, with the aim of bridging the gap between the theory and practice of the right to life.
