Considerations over the right to life and the use of fire-arms within ECHR legislation and Romanian jurisprudence

Abstract

As the European Court of Human Rights states, the right to life is a fundamental human right. It is assigned as essential in the protection system of rights and freedoms established within the European Convention. If what the law limits the right to life, jurisprudence is perhaps not very clear; in exchange, in terms of content, the Court decided, using the teleological interpretation, that state obligations regard on one hand, no death causing through intentional action, and on the other hand, protection of life by to taking necessary measures. In this respect, the Romanian legislation has the obligation to comply with the related European jurisprudence.
