Abstract

Cilj ovog rada je prikazati kako je Europski sud za ljudska prava (dalje: ESLJP) kroz svoju opsežnu praksu utvrdio poveznicu između proizvoljnog zadiranja u status državljanstva i kršenja prava na poštovanje privatnog i obiteljskog života, garantiranih člankom 8. Europske konvencije za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda (dalje: Konvencija). Na taj način je ESLJP otvorio alternativni način zaštite od takvog zadiranja, iako samo pravo na državljanstvo nije pokriveno Konvencijom, niti spada u prava koja potpadaju pod zaštitu članka 6. stavka 1 Konvencije. Ukratko će se prikazati dvojaka priroda državljanstva, ističući kako ono posjeduje višestruku dimenziju kao institut javnog prava i kao sveprisutni dio svakodnevnog života pojedinca. Nakon toga slijedi analiza dviju važnih predmeta u kojima je ESLJP po prvi puta uspostavio poveznicu između zadiranja u status državljanstva i kršenja prava na poštovanje privatnog i obiteljskog života. Potom će se proučiti bitne presude i odluke u kojima je ESLJP postepeno razvio metodologiju odlučivanja o tome je li se dogodila povreda prava iz članka 8. Konvencije, bilo proizvoljnim oduzimanjem državljanstva, neosnovanim odbijanjem primitka u državljanstvo ili odugovlačenjem regulacije statusa državljanstva.

Abstract (english)

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate how the European Court of Human Rights (hereinafter: the ECHR) has managed to establish, through its extensive case law, a link between the acts of arbitrary interference into citizenship status and the violation of the right to respect of private and family life, guaranteed by Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (hereinafter: the Convention). In this manner, the Court created an alternative way of protection against such interferences, eventhough the right to citizenship itself is not covered by the provisions of the Convention, nor does it fall under the protection of Article 6, Paragraph 1 of the Convention. We shall briefly present the dual nature of citizenship, emphasizing that it has a multiple dimension as an institute of public law and as an ever-present part of an individual's daily life. This is followed by an analysis of two important cases in which the Court had for the first time established a link between the acts of arbitrary interference into a person's citizenship status and the violation of the right to respect for private and family life. Afterwards, we shall be analyzing several important judgments and decisions in which the Court has gradually developed a methodology for deciding whether a violation of rights guaranteed by Article 8 of the Convention has occurred, either by arbitrary deprivation of citizenship, by unjustified refusal of admission to citizenship or by delaying the regulation of citizenship status.
