| Title | Right To Hope. The Human Rights Issues Of Life Imprisonment Without Right To Parole. |
| Summary | The thesis comments on the ethical and legal implications of the enforcement of the sentence "life without right to parole". It focuses on the European Court of Human Rights recent case-law regarding this issue and analyses the compliance with its requirements by Bulgaria and Hungary. In both countries the only possibility to substitute this type of sentence is by Presidential pardon, which I argue to be insufficient institute, at least in regards to thus specific issue. Presidential pardon does not give the required by the Court "de facto" prospect of release of the prisoner, nor does it provide for an adequate procedure, measuring the correctional progress of the inmate. |
