TACKLING THE QUESTION OF BEGGING AND BEGGING BANS THROUGH HUMAN RIGHTS: WHAT LACATUS v. SWITZERLAND EVOKE

Öz

This study tackles the laws and practices that prohibit and sanction begging through a human rights perspective. In light of the regional historical records on the subject, the study evaluates the past and current begging prohibitions by critically questioning the motives of the contemporary bans and puts forward some potential human rights questions. In parallel to this, it questions the role and use of human rights against the contemporary bans on begging through examining a recent ECtHR case and discusses the legal arguments that were addresses and neglected by this decision in light of the diverse legal systems.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• Begging bans
• right to a private and family life
