Summary:

This book offers a comprehensive analysis of key judgments by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) related to the fundamental right to life, as enshrined in Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights. It examines the normative framework, jurisdictional reach of the ECtHR, and the positive and procedural obligations of states to safeguard life. The text delves into topics such as protection from domestic violence, medical negligence, natural hazards, the death penalty, and the permissible use of lethal force. It also explores the interplay between human rights law and international humanitarian law in armed conflicts. With critical analyses and case studies of landmark rulings, this work is intended for legal scholars, practitioners, and students interested in human rights jurisprudence and the evolving interpretation of the right to life.
