- Abstract
- Over the last two decades, the European Court of Human Rights has been increasingly finding that certain interferences with freedom of expression have a “chilling effect.” Indeed, the Court has used this term in some of its most seminal judgments concerning the right to freedom of expression, under Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. However, there exist fundamental questions relating to how the Court applies chilling effect reasoning in its freedom of expression case law, including questions relating to possible inconsistency in its application. And yet, there is a crucial absence of a systematic and in-depth scholarly examination of the Court’s application of the chilling effect principle. In light of this shortcoming in legal scholarship, the main purpose of this thesis is to address these fundamental questions, and provide a systematic and critical examination of the Court’s development and use of the chilling effect principle in its freedom of expression case law
