Abstract

The case-law on Article 18 of the European Convention on Human Rights has been evolving recently in a dramatic fashion. This evolution, which shaped a new doctrine on the misuse of power, focuses on the criminalisation of dissent within a State where undemocratic tendencies arise. The purpose of this article is to highlight these undemocratic tendencies and demonstrate that Article 18 ECHR addresses the systemic deficiencies in the balance of powers within a State. A violation of Article 18 ECHR occurs when the executive branch of government male fide tries to erode the social, political and economic contre-pouvoirs within a State and when the institutional contre-pouvoirs, namely the judicial and the legislative branch of government, fail to avert this erosion.

《欧洲人权公约》第18条下关于滥用权力的新原则:它到底是关于国家内部的控制权制度吗?

关于《欧洲人权公约》第18条的判例法最近以一种引人注目的方式发展。这种演变形成了一种关于滥用权力的新学说，其重点是在出现不民主倾向的国家内将持不同政见者定为刑事犯罪。本文的目的是强调这些不民主的倾向，并证明《欧洲人权公约》第18条解决了国家内部权力平衡的系统性缺陷。当政府行政部门试图侵蚀一个国家内的社会、政治和经济支柱，而政府的体制支柱，即司法和立法部门未能避免这种侵蚀时，就发生了违反《欧洲人权公约》第18条的行为。
