FAILURE TO PROVIDE MEDICAL CARE AS A VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 3 OF THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS IN AND OUTSIDE THE CONTEXT OF DETENTION

U radu je prikazan problem koji nastaje kod (ne)pružanja medicinske skrbi u državama članicama Vijeća Europe. Naime, iako je pravo na medicinsku skrb zaštićeno mnogim međunarodnim dokumentima, Europska konvencija za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda ne štiti pravo na takvu skrb. Unatoč tome što nepružanje medicinske skrbi može dovesti do povrede određenih konvencijskih prava u radu se pozornost pridaje sudskoj praksi koja se odnosi na članak 3. Europska konvencija o sprječavanju mučenja i neljudskog ili ponižavajućeg postupanja ili kažnjavanja, kojom su zaštićena prava osoba lišenih slobode, može se smatrati nadopunom članka 3. Problematika pružanja medicinske skrbi će biti razrađena unutar i izvan konteksta zadržavanja, pri čemu su pod pojam zadržavanja uvršteni zatvori, psihijatrijske ustanove, ustanove za smještaj maloljetnika te ustanove za smještaj migranata te je sukladno tome podijeljena i praksa Europskog suda za ljudska prava. Sudska praksa koja se ne odnosi na pitanja izvan zadržavanja također je podijeljena u nekoliko kategorija: reproduktivna prava, prava djece i maloljetnika, kronične i nezarazne bolesti te mentalno zdravlje.This thesis considers the issue of providing medical care in member states of the Council of Europe. Although many international documents protect the right to medical care, the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms does not protect such right. In spite of that, failure to provide medical care can violate several articles of the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, but this thesis focuses on the case law related to Article 3. The European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, which protects the rights of persons deprived of their liberty, may be considered as a supplement to Article 3 of the ECHR. The issue of providing medical care will be elaborated in and outside the context of detention. The context of detention includes prisons, psychiatric institutions, juvenile accomodation facilities and accomodation facilities for migrants, so the case law of the European Court of Human Rights will also be divided into this categories. The case law which does not apply to the context of detention is also divided in few categories: reproductive rights, rights of children and juveniles, chronic and non-communicable diseases and mental health
