▪ Interpretation of Art 8 ECHRi
1. Everyone has the right to respect for his private and family life, his home and his correspondence.
- Private: The right to private life embraces personal autonomy.
- Family: extends to the legally acknowledged ties between persons related by blood or marriage.
- Home: whether a habitation constitutes a “home” under the protection of Art 8 § 1 depends on the factual
circumstances, namely the existence of sufficient and continuous links with a specific place (Winterstein
and Others v. France, § 141)
- Correspondence: by all means communication with other people. The right to have uninterrupted and
uncensored communication with others (phone-tapping; email surveillance; and the reading of letters).
2. There shall be no interference by a public authority with the exercise of this right except such as is in
accordance with the law and is necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national
security, public safety or the economic wellbeing of the country, for the prevention of disorder or
crime, for the protection of health or morals, or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of
others.
