Greece vs. UK (legal case)

The Greece v. UK case (1952) was a legal dispute brought before the European Court of Human Rights. Greece claimed that the UK’s treatment of certain Greek nationals didn't respect their human rights, particularly regarding deportations and detention policies following WWII and the Dodecanese Islands' status. The court examined whether the UK’s actions violated the European Convention on Human Rights. The case highlighted issues of national sovereignty versus individual rights. Ultimately, the Court emphasized the importance of safeguarding human rights, but also recognized states’ discretion in internal security matters, balancing individual protections with national interests.
