Soziale Not in der Rechtsprechung des EGMR

Arno Frohwerk examines how the European Convention on Human Rights deals with social hardship. He shows that the European Court of Human Rights seldom and only in exceptional cases applies the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms to social hardship. He uses the individual decisions of the European Court of Human Rights to develop a model, based on legal practice, for criteria to determine this exceptional case.
