- COURSE CONTENT
| The subject of the course is the system of first, second and third generation fundamental rights within the framework of the Greek Constitution. The course focuses on individual rights (that protect the existence and action of the individual from state arbitrariness) and social rights (that create obligations for the state to take positive measures to secure basic goods to citizens). These rights, as they developed during the post Second World War welfare state, are directly linked to the reduction of oppression and discrimination, the orientation of power and the exercise of state violence.
Initially, the common basic characteristics related to the structure and operation of the relevant constitutional provisions are presented. Secondly, certain individual and social rights are selected and discussed, the theory and analysis of the latter being the constitutional framework for the formation of social administration and the implementation of social policy. At a third level the relativity and the revocation of rights are examined, based on various legal grounds or expediencies, such as national or state security, the general or public interest, morals and order, etc. The consequences of the various economic and political crises on fundamental rights, that call into question the legitimacy of institutions and lead to the dismantling of welfare mechanisms and humanitarian crises, are also examined. Finally, fundamental rights, such as equality, personal liberty, freedom of expression, etc. are examined from the point of view of national institutions and bodies, such as the National Committee for Human Rights, the Ombudsperson, the Hellenic Union for Human Rights, as well as European monitoring and judicial bodies, such as the European Commission for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the European Court of Human Rights. In particular, the course is structured in two parts, the general part concerning fundamental rights and the special part where some of the individual and social rights are analyzed. I. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS: GENERAL PART • Concept and sources of fundamental rights • Elements from the history of fundamental rights • Structure, function and fields of protection of fundamental rights • Guarantees of respect for fundamental rights • Restrictions and conflict of rights • The principle of the welfare state II. FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS: SPECIAL PART Analysis of particular individual and social rights in the Greek Constitution a. Individual rights • The protection of human value • The principle of gender equality • The right to personality development and participation in the life of the country • The protection of life • Freedom of movement • The protection of health and genetic identity • The right to information • Personal security • The standardization of the criminal phenomenon • The right of the natural judge • The inviolability of the asylum of the residence and the protection of private life • The right to property and its limitations • The right to information self-determination • The right to a court hearing and protection • The right to environmental protection b. Social rights • Protecting the family, marriage, motherhood, childhood and vulnerable social groups • The right to health • The right to work • The right to social security • The rights to social welfare and housing |
