Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and its significance in determining its violation before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The paper first explains the general features of Article 2, its scope and its application, as it is considered as a right where no deviations can be made. Furthermore, the paper elaborates the application of Article 2 through the analysis of case studies before the ECtHR submitted against some of the Balkan countries. These case studies address violations of Article 2 with regard to the use of excessive police force, death in custody, victims of crime, and in other cases and circumstances. In conclusion, the authors present their own results regarding compliance with Article 2 and future challenges that the law enforcement authorities may face when applying Article 2 of the ECHR.
