| Title | The Duty to Investigate under Article 2 ECHR: Procedures and Challenges to Implementation in post-conflict Russia and Turkey |
| Summary | This thesis explores the jurisprudential development of the procedural duty to investigate killings under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, since its first articulation in McCann and Others v. The United Kingdom, and its significance in the context of armed conflict. The main aim is to assess the obstacles to the execution of this duty at the level of the European Court of Human Rights and the Committee of Ministers and to its implementation at the domestic level in conflict-affected areas in Russia and Turkey. The thesis demonstrates that the legal frameworks currently in place display significant shortcomings that, if not adequately and timely remedied, shall continue to impede the European human rights system, as well as deny the remedying effect of ECtHR judgments to relatives of persons killed or disappeared persons during the military operations in Chechnya and South East Turkey. |
