Bosnia & Herzegovina (2007), European Court of Human Rights
Šobota-Gajić v. Bosnia and Herzegovina
Application no. 27966/06 (Sect. 4) (Eng)
Despite having several rulings in her favour, national authorities failed to facilitate the applicant’s reunion with her son. Thus, she alleged that the State violated Article 8 of the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.
“In this context, the Court has repeatedly held that Article 8 (Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) includes a right for parents to have measures taken that will permit them to be reunited with their children and an obligation on the national authorities to take such action… the Court also reiterates that, in a case like the present one, the adequacy of a measure is to be judged by the swiftness of its implementation as the passage of time can have irremediable consequences for relations between the children and the parent who does not live with them.”(Quoted form Original Judgment)
