Abstract

Cilj ovoga rada je istražiti primjenu članka 11. Konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda na pojedince koji sudjeluju u masovnim prosvjedima i demonstracijama. U radu se prikazuju opća načela vezana uz pravo na slobodu mirnog okupljanja ustanovljena u praksi Europskog suda za ljudska prava. Također, u svrhu boljeg razumijevanja općih načela, u radu se prikazuju pojedini relevantni slučajevi iz prakse Europskog suda za ljudska prava. U radu je poseban naglasak stavljen na osnovna obilježja prava na slobodu okupljanja, značenje mirnog karaktera okupljanja, pozitivne obveze država, elemente testa nužnosti u demokratskom društvu kao instrumenta za utvrđivanje povreda prava na slobodu okupljanja kao i na glavne načine miješanja u to pravo poput nametanja složenih postupaka autorizacije, rastjerivanja okupljenih ljudi i izricanja sankcija zbog sudjelovanja u okupljanju.
