The Potential Application of ECHR Case-law Guidance on the Communication with Third-Country Nationals

Abstract

The primary objective of this scientific study is to analyze the present state of communication in detention facilities across the EU Member States and also contribute to the analysis of legislation pertaining to mutual verbal and nonverbal communication between detained third-country nationals and police officers within detention facilities in selected EU countries. This will have a significant impact on the prevention of misunderstandings and conflicts in the above-mentioned facilities, especially in regard to the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms of the detained foreigners.
