European Court of Human Rights.

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has made judgments in several cases regarding human rights violations. In one case, two women in France were denied the right to use their deceased husbands' sperm and embryos for posthumous medically assisted reproduction. The ECHR ruled that the French authorities did not violate the applicants' rights under Article 8 of the Convention. In another case, a man in Portugal with paranoid schizophrenia claimed a violation of Article 3 of the Convention due to inadequate medical treatment and inappropriate conditions of detention. The court acknowledged the challenges faced by the Portuguese prison system but did not find a violation of Article 3. The ECHR also made judgments in three separate cases, finding violations of Article 5 § 1 (e), Article 8, and Article 8 of the Convention. These cases highlight the importance of protecting the rights and dignity of individuals with mental health disorders, HIV-positive individuals, and people with disabilities.
