| Abstract [eng] |
This thesis explores the principles of administrative punishment within the legal framework of the Council of Europe with a special emphasis on the case law of European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The thesis seeks to gauge the scope of individual protection that one might expect with regard to administrative sanctions as well as to identify cases, in which such protection may be insufficient. The thesis concludes with the idea that even though the ECtHR views administrative sanctioning as an ‘organic’, multi-pronged system, there are instances, where procedural safeguards which could have been invoked at the administrative sanctioning level, remain undeveloped. |
