cases (e.g., Pretty v. United Kingdom, Von Hannover v. Germany)

Cases like Pretty v. the United Kingdom and Von Hannover v. Germany are legal rulings by the European Court of Human Rights that interpret how individual rights are balanced with national interests. Pretty v. UK concerned whether a woman's right to die with dignity was violated when the UK prohibited assisted suicide. Von Hannover v. Germany addressed whether a celebrity's right to privacy was infringed by media coverage. These cases help define the limits of freedoms such as privacy and personal autonomy under the European Convention on Human Rights, establishing how countries must balance individual rights against public interests.
