Aritcle on the Right to Informed Consent and the relevant case-law of the ECtHR (Hungarian)

Eötvös Loránd University Faculty of Law published the collection of articles based on presentations held on the PhD. conference of the faculty this spring. Amongst them there is my article as well the title of which is The Right to Informed Consent under Article 5 of the Oviedo Convention and the relevant case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. Unfortunately the article is in Hungarian.

In this article I analyzed, firtly, the rules of informed consent within the Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine with regard to its importance and the elements of consent that are commonly distinguished in the scholarship. Secondly, I drew up the way the right to informed consent can be invoked before the ECtHR. I reiterated that informed consent issues generally appeared before the Court in relation with Articles 3 and 8 of the ECHR. Finally, I analyzed some cases regarding each ECHR right.
