Korpen A.S. The right to justice: allowable limitations

Abstract: The subject of this research is the relevant issues pertaining to allowable limitations to the right to justice. The author gives attention to the multifacetedness of such type of limitations that come from the dualistic nature of this right. The article expounds the specificity of various types of limitations of the right to justice. Examining the experience of the international authorities, including the practice of the European Court of Human Rights, the author determines approaches towards the analysis of the limitations of the right to justice and defines cases in which they are allowable. The author proposes classification of the limitation to the right to justice. The variable character of limitations of the right to justice allows the author to highlight three types of limitations: material legal, jurisdictional, and procedural. The author underlines that depending on the character of limitation, there are different approaches towards the assessment of correspondence of such limitation to international standards in the area of protection of human rights. The allowable limitations of the right to justice represent the balance of private and public interests which secures the accomplishment of the goal of the right in question.


Keywords:
