Positieve verplichtingen en aansprakelijkheid : De invloed van positieve verplichtingen uit het EVRM op het Nederlandse aansprakelijkheids- en strafrecht

Abstract

Dutch legal practice has always been assumed to be in accordance with the ECHR. The question is whether this is indeed the case. This book describes whether substantive criminal law and government liability law meet the requirements arising from the positive obligations flowing from Articles 2, 3, 4, 5, 8 ECHR and Article 1 of the First Protocol thereof. It is concluded that broadly speaking, Dutch law meets the requirements of the ECHR. Nevertheless, there are still some implementation problems. To solve these problems, a series of recommendations is formulated for the legislator, executive and judiciary.
