TREATMENT OF MIGRANTS IN LIGHT OF THE EUROPEAN CONVENTION ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS

Cilj ovog rada je podrobnije opisati tematiku postupanja država s migrantima, odnosno ukazati na kršenje njihovih temeljnih ljudskih prava koja su im zajamčena Europskom konvencijom za zaštitu ljudskih prava i temeljnih sloboda poput: prava na život (čl. 2.), zabrane mučenja (čl. 3.), prava na slobodu i sigurnost (čl. 5.), prava na poštovanje privatnog i obiteljskog života (čl. 8.), zabrana kolektivnog protjerivanja stranaca (čl. 4. Protokola br. 4.) i prava na djelotvoran pravni lijek (čl. 13.). U radu se nalaze brojni primjeri sudske prakse Europskog suda za ljudska prava koji je u većini slučajeva zadnja nada za ostvarenje zaštite migranata. Iako brojni predmeti utvrđuju povredu prava, ponekad postoje situacije kada je Sud na strani države. Također razrađuje se temeljna razlika između migranta i izbjeglice te drugačiji opseg prava koji uživaju s obzirom na vrstu veze s državom prihvata.The aim of this graduation thesis is to describe in more detail the subject of states' handling of migrants, i.e. to point out the violation of their fundamental human rights, which are guaranteed to them by the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, such as: the right to life (Art. 2), the prohibition of torture (Art. 3), the right to liberty and security (Article 5), the right to respect for private and family life (Article 8), the prohibition of collective expulsion of foreigners (Article 4 of Protocol No. 4) and the right to an effective remedy (Art. 13). The thesis contains numerous examples of judicial practice of the European Court of Human Rights, which is in most cases the last resort for the protection of migrants. Although numerous cases establish a violation of rights, sometimes there are situations when the Court sides with the state. It also elaborates the fundamental difference between migrants and refugees and the different scope of rights they enjoy with regard to the type of connection with the receiving country
