Abstract

This article examines how human rights relate to democratic policing. We differentiate policing for democracy, which protects democracy, from democratically responsive policing, where police are governed democratically. Using this two-fold distinction to examine European Court of Human Rights cases, we find a close match between Convention rights and policing for democracy. Regarding democratically responsive policing, the Court provides responsiveness within the structural limits of reacting to individual complaints, and as one element in the broader landscape of governance. Further, cases show how that landscape features in Court judgments. We argue that robust enforcement, and careful attention to case law during drafting and implementation of police legislation and governance arrangements, help protect democracy and enhance democratically responsive policing.

通过欧洲人权委员会将人权映射到民主警务

本文探讨人权与民主警务的关系。我们将保护民主的民主警务与民主响应式警务区分开来，后者的警察由民主管理。利用这一双重区别来审查欧洲人权法院的案件，我们发现公约权利与民主警务之间有着密切的联系。关于民主反应性警务，法院在对个人投诉作出反应的结构限制内提供反应性，并作为更广泛的治理格局的一个要素。此外，案件显示了法院判决中这种情况的特点。我们认为，在警察立法和治理安排的起草和实施过程中，强有力的执法以及对判例法的认真关注，有助于保护民主并加强对民主的回应。

期刊介绍： Security and Human Rights (formerly Helsinki Monitor) is a quarterly journal devoted to issues inspired by the work and principles of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). It looks at the challenge of building security through cooperation across the northern hemisphere, from Vancouver to Vladivostok, as well as how this experience can be applied to other parts of the world. It aims to stimulate thinking on the question of protecting and promoting human rights in a world faced with serious threats to security.
