Judgment of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of N.D. and N.T. against
Antonio Vulas
Abstract
The article discusses the possible influence of the rulings of the European Court of Human Rights in the case of a citizen of Mali N.D. and a citizen of Ivory Coast N.T. initiated before that court against the Kingdom of Spain in relation with the system of protection of the EU's external borders. In their action, the applicants alleged that the authorities of the Kingdom of Spain had violated the principle of non-collective expulsion set out in Article 4 of Protocol No. 1. 4 of the (European) Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, and the rights listed in Article 13 of the same Convention (right to an effective remedy). The text focuses on the ruling of the Grand Chamber of the Court in the second instance proceedings, passed after a public hearing of the parties and other interested participants, which took place on 26 September 2018 in the court building in Strasbourg, France. Although the verdict is limited by the specific circumstances of the event itself, ie the fact that the judgment refers to a specific case of EU external border control, the paper seeks to clarify the impact that this judgment could have on the overall European external border control system.
