The protection of confidential communication between a lawyer and a client in the case law of the European Court of Human Rights
Zaštita poverljive komunikacije između advokata i klijenta u praksi Evropskog suda za ljudska prava
Abstract
Confidentiality of communication is a very important human right that gains in importance when the communication is conducted between a lawyer and a client. Namely, for a lawyer to be able to adequately represent their client, the client must be sure that the information they entrust to the lawyer will not reach third parties, i.e. that the communication will remain confidential. In this sense, protecting the confidentiality of communication between a lawyer and a client is very important not only for representing the client in each case, but also for the proper functioning of the legal system. This paper aims to establish which articles of the European Convention protect the right to a confidential communication between a lawyer and a client and how this communication is protected in practice by the European Court of Human Rights. The paper also examines whether it is possible to prescribe a measure by which such an important right as the right to privileged and confidential communication between a lawyer and a client could be limited and if so under what conditions.
Sažetak
Poverljivost komunikacije predstavlja jedno veoma važno ljudsko pravo koje svoj još veći značaj dobija kada se komunikacija vrši između advokata i klijenta. Naime, da bi advokat mogao adekvatno da zastupa svog klijenta potrebno je da klijent bude siguran da informacije koje poveri advokatu neće doći do trećih lica, odnosno da će komunikacija ostati poverljiva. U tom smislu zaštita poverljivosti komunikacije između advokata i klijenta veoma je važna ne samo za zastupanje klijenta u svakom pojedinačnom slučaju, nego i za pravilno funkcionisanje pravnog sistema jedne države. Cilj ovoga rada je da se ustanovi kojim članovima Evropske konvencije se štiti pravo na poverljivu komunikaciju advokata i klijenta, odnosno na koji način se ova komunikacija štiti u praksi Evropskog suda za ljudska prava. Takođe, u radu je posebno razmatrano da li je moguće propisati meru kojom bi se jedno tako važno pravo kao što je pravo na privilegovanu i poverljivu komunikaciju između advokata i klijenta moglo ograničiti i, ako bi moglo, pod kojim uslovima.
