Kriszta KOVÁCS
Kriszta Kovács examines the “paradox of militant democracy” under the European Convention on Human Rights. Relying on Bradshaw v. the UK (2025), the author finds that the ECtHR’s insufficient reliance on protective duties (positive obligations) risks undermining the effectiveness of the protection of liberal democracy.
