Abstract

The chapter offers a detailed summary of the judgment rendered by the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in Naït-Liman v Switzerland, coupled with a critical evaluation of the conceptual and normative premises underpinning the judicial reasoning. The appraisal is performed against the backdrop of the ECtHR’s jurisprudence as well as with reference to the broader framework of international human rights law and practice, both judicial and non-judicial in nature.
