ANALIZA JURISPRUDENȚEI CEDO CU PRIVIRE LA ÎNCĂLCAREA DREPTULUI LA VIAȚĂ DE CĂTRE REPUBLICA MOLDOVA

Abstract

In the contemporary era, great steps were taken towards the development of the principles and standards in the field of the protection of human rights. Human life has thus obtained a central position within treaties, among which, the European Convention on Human Rights. The Republic of Moldova, following its membership to the Council of Europe and its ratification of the Convention, has committed to respect all the rights guaranteed by the latter, including the right to life.However, over the years, the state has failed to exercise its obligation fully, as the European Court of Human Rights has found violations which resulted in Moldova’s conviction. The article aims to analyze the cases lost by Moldova,which are relevant to the topic, as well as the position of the Supreme Court of Justice and the Constitutional Court on the matter.
