En este trabajo se aborda la ejecución de las sentencias del TEDH desde la perspectiva del Derecho constitucional, más concretamente del Derecho constitucional europeo. Se comienza así señalando la cualidad sustancialmente constitucional que han adquirido el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos y el Tribunal de Estrasburgo en un marco ordinamental caracterizado por la subsisidiariedad como instrumento óptimo para la garantía tanto del texto normativo como de las sentencias de su guardián. De aquí se deduce un tratamiento de estas últimas que pone el énfasis en la obligatoriedad de su cumplimiento. Éste es el sentido de la jurisprudencia del TEDH de modo que se ha podido hablar de la distorsión del carácter declarativo de sus resoluciones. Considerando el carácter constitucional del CEDH y del TEDH, y dada la necesidad de asegurar la eficacia de su doctrina para garantizar los derechos, se repara en el ordenamiento constitucional interno español entendiendo que es el derecho a la tutela judicial efectiva (ex art. 24) como derecho a la ejecución de lo juzgado el que hace necesario un procedimiento específico como el que se establece finalmente en la LO 7/2015.This paper studies the execution in Spain of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights from the perspective of Constitutional Law, more specifically from the perspective of the European Constitutional Law. This begins by pointing out the substantially constitutional quality that both the Convention and the Court have acquired in an ordinamental framework characterized by the principle of subsidiarity as the optimal instrument for guaranteeing both the normative text and the judgments. From this we can deduce a treatment of the latter that puts the emphasis on the obligatory nature of its fulfillment. This is the meaning of the ECtHR jurisprudence so that it has been possible to speak of the distortion of the declaratory nature of its resolutions. Considering the constitutional nature of the ECHR and the ECtHR, and given the need to ensure the effectiveness of its doctrine to guarantee rights, it is focused on the Spanish internal constitutional order, understanding that it is the right to effective judicial protection (ex Article 24) as the right of having judgments executed that makes necessary a specific procedure like the one finally established in the LO 7/2015.

ResumenSin duda alguna, en épocas de crisis como la que vivimos desde hace años, que se ha mostrado especialmente intensa en España, el Derecho al trabajo es uno de los que resultan más perjudicados. Se trata de un Derecho fundamental del ser humano y, como tal, aparece recogido en la Declaración Universal de Derechos Humanos, formando parte de ese “ideal común” que todos los pueblos y naciones deben esforzarse en conseguir. En España, el desempleo ha alcanzado niveles tan elevados que se ha convertido en la principal preocupación de los españoles (prácticamente en todas las familias hay al menos un miembro en “paro”). La situación es desoladora, habiéndose llegado a rozar los 6 millones de trabajadores en situación de desempleo, resultando evidente que el país debe continuar la reforma en el ámbito laboral poniendo en práctica políticas activas que permitan la reducción de esta cifra y la normalización del mercado de trabajo. Sin embargo, no menos importante será la adopción de medidas para la protección de los millones de desempleados, que viéndose privados de trabajo, principal fuente de ingresos para la mayoría de ellos, carecen de los recursos necesarios para hacer frente a sus necesidades básicas y las de sus familias.AbstractWithout any doubt, in times of crisis, as the one we have been currently living for years, the right to work has been particularly affected. It is a Fundamental Human Right, as it is expressed in the Universal Declarationof Human Rights, shaping this “common ideal” towards which all the people and nations must try to achieve. In Spain, unemployment has reached such levels that it has become the main subject of preoccupation among Spaniards (in almost all families, there is at least one unemployed individual). The situation is devastating, as almost 6 million of people are unemployed, urging the country to carry on its labour reforms, implementing active policies that enable to reduce this number and to normalize the labour market. It will be also important to adopt some measures to protect millions of unemployed individuals who, having no job, (as the main source of income for them), are lacking the necessary means to cope with the basic needs of themselves and their families. ResumoSem dúvida, em tempos de crise como a que temos vivenciado há anos, e que tem demostrado ser particularmente intensa na Espanha, o direito ao trabalho tem sido particularmente prejudicado. Trata-se de um direito humano fundamental e como tal, aparece na Declaração Universal dos Direitos Humanos, formando parte desse “ideal comum” que todos os povos e nações devem buscar realizar. Na Espanha, o desemprego atingiu níveis tão elevados que se tornou a principal preocupação dos Espanhóis (praticamente todos em todas as famílias lares têm pelo menos um membrosem emprego). A situação é sombria, tendo em vista que há quase 6 milhões de desempregados, exigindo que o país prossiga com suas reformas trabalhistas, implementando políticas públicas ativas que permitam reduzir essa cifra e normalizar o mercado do trabalho. Torna-se importante adotar medidas que protejam os milhões de desempregados que, sem emprego– principal fonte de ingressos para a maioria deles –, carecem dos recursos necessários às suas necessidades básicas e de suas famílias.

LABURPENA: Giza Eskubideen Europako Auzitegiaren jurisprudentziaren ondorioz, Konstituzio Auzitegiak aurreko doktrina zuzendu behar izan du. Horretarako, errugabetasun-presuntziorako eskubidearen irismena zabaldu behar izan du, eta, administrazio-ebazpen zehatzaileetatik eta zigor-epaietatik harago, kalte-ordaina ukatzen duten erabakietara zabaldu du hori, Botere Judizialaren Lege Organikoaren 294. artikuluak eskatzen duen bezalaxe, errugabetasun-presuntzioaren printzipioa ezarri ostean akusatua absolbitu egin den baina delituzko egintzak egon ez zirela frogatu ez den kasuetarako. RESUMEN: Fruto de la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos, el Tribunal Constitucional se ha visto obligado a rectificar su doctrina anterior extendiendo el alcance del derecho a la presunción de inocencia, más allá de las resoluciones administrativas sancionadoras y sentencias penales, a los pronunciamientos que, tal y como exige el art. 294 LOPJ, deniegan la indemnización en atención a que el acusado fue absuelto en aplicación del principio de presunción de inocencia sin que haya quedado probado que los hechos delictivos no existieron. ABSTRACT: As a result of the case law by the European Court of Human Rights, the Constitutional Court was compelled to rectify its former doctrine by broadening the scope of the right to the presumption of innocence beyond punitive administrative resolutions and criminal judgments to rulings that as art. 294 of Judiciary Act requires, deny the award of damages on the ground that the accused was acquitted due to the application of the principle of innocence without having been proved that the criminal offences did not exist.

Abstract This article rationalises the case law of the European Court of Human Rights under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights in deportation cases involving children. The Court engages in a balancing exercise between the right to family life of the deportee’s family on the one side, and the public interest in deportation on the other. This article expands on existing case law analysis by suggesting that in deportation cases, the Court considers Article 8 as a form of commonly held right, rather than an individual right held by one member of the family. Furthermore, the balance is argued to be constructed as a relationship between two factors on both sides, rather than of a sole factor on either side as being determinative. This article concludes that the best interests of the child (one of the ‘Üner criteria’) is not adequately reflected in the Court’s deportation decision-making practice.

ABSTRACTThe aim of this article is to provide an overview of the European Court of Justice's (‘ECJ’) past and present contribution— both procedurally and substantively—to the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. While it is too early to speculate what the ECJ's contribution to this area will be under the provisions of the Treaty of Lisbon, which entered into force on 1 December 2009, the latter's modifications to the ECJ's jurisdiction merit close attention. After describing how the procedural limitations that were imposed on the ECJ's jurisdiction by ex Title IV of Part Three of the EC Treaty and by ex Title VI of the old EU Treaty have been almost entirely eliminated by the Treaty of Lisbon, this article posits that not only does the latter Treaty improve significantly the judicial protection of private individuals, but it also facilitates the dialogue between the Union and the national judiciaries in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice. Next, the article briefly explores the special ECJ procedures which may be followed in the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice in cases where time is of the essence. There, it is argued that, when having recourse to these procedures, the ECJ strives to strike the right balance between, on the one hand, swift judging and, on the other hand, the preservation of a qualitative and fair judicial procedure. As to substantive issues, drawing on examples from the fields of judicial cooperation in civil matters, asylum and judicial cooperation in criminal matters, it is argued that the ECJ's contribution to this area is largely grounded in the protection of fundamental rights. Finally, a brief conclusion supports the contention that the ECJ's contribution to the Area of Freedom, Security and Justice has favoured a ‘mutual borrowing’ of concepts and principles as between this area and other fields in relation to which the EU has competences, such as the internal market and competition. The Treaty of Lisbon having entered into force, an unprecedented level of coordination between different areas of EU law on both the procedural and substantive levels is to take place. Respect for fundamental rights will definitely be a unifying factor binding them all together.

En este artículo se analizan, desde una perspectiva estrictamente dogmática, las implicaciones de la progresiva dilatación del concepto de “bienes” llevada a cabo por el Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. El trabajo consta de tres partes. En la primera de ellas se describe en líneas muy generales el aludido proceso de dilatación conceptual a que ha sido sometido el derecho a la propiedad privada garantizado en el art. 1 del primer Protocolo Adicional el Convenio. A tal fin se analiza la estructura del precepto, se discute el peculiar uso de algunas de las herramientas argumentativas del Tribunal y se introduce la problemática las pensiones públicas como calibre por medio del cual valorar la naturaleza de los bienes protegidos en el marco del Convenio. En la segunda parte del trabajo se analizan la índole y la extensión de la protección otorgada por el Tribunal a los intereses de los beneficiarios de tales prestaciones sociales. Por último, se efectúa una serie de consideraciones que, a pesar de su diferente naturaleza, ahondan en lo que se ha denominado la “disolución del concepto tradicional de propiedad privada”. This paper discusses –from a strictly legal perspective– the implications of the progressive dilation of the concept of “goods” carried out by the European Court of Human Rights. The work consists of three parts. The first describes in broad, outline form the alluded process of conceptual expansion to which the right to property has been subjected. To this end, it analyses the structure of the provision, discusses the peculiar use of some of the Court's argumentative tools and introduces the problem of public pensions to illustrate the nature of the assets protected under the Convention. The second part of the article discusses the features and extent of the protection afforded by the Court to the beneficiaries of such welfare benefits. Finally, the paper delves in its third part into what has been called the "dissolution of the traditional concept of private property”.

El artículo 8 del Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos –que protege los derechos al respeto la vida privada y familiar, el domicilio y la correspondencia– se ha configurado en estos setenta años de Convenio como uno de los escenarios habituales del desarrollo del margen de apreciación nacional y la doctrina de las obligaciones positivas del Estado. Esto parece justificarse en el contenido y estructura de este artículo y en las restricciones y limitaciones al ejercicio de estos derechos establecidas por su párrafo segundo. En este marco, el objetivo de este artículo es analizar cuál ha sido el papel del artículo 8 CEDH en el desarrollo de estos estándares interpretativos y cómo ha influido en la jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos. Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights –which protects the right to respect for private and family life, home and correspondence– has been configured as a traditional place for the development of the margin of appreciation and the doctrine of State’s positive obligations. The scope and structure of this article and its limitation clause in the second paragraph seem to justify these developments. In this context, the objective of this article is to analyse the role of Article 8 ECHR in the development of these interpretative standards and its influence in the European Court of Human Rights case-law.

 Resumen: Aunque el derecho a la Seguridad Social aparece regulado en numerosos Tratados inter­nacionales, ni el Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos ni sus Protocolos Adicionales la contemplan. Y, sin embargo, son numerosas las sentencias del Tribunal Europeo de Derechos Humanos que tienen por objeto la tutela del derecho a percibir prestaciones sociales contributivas, no contributivas y de natu­raleza mixta. El elemento en común que tienen esas sentencias –que se analizan en el primer bloque– es que el Tribunal parte de la premisa de que el derecho a prestaciones sociales es un derecho de propiedad tutelable al amparo del artículo primero del Primer Protocolo Adicional al Convenio Europeo de Dere­chos Humanos. En base a dicho precepto España ya ha sido condenada en dos ocasiones en materia de pensiones de Seguridad Social. Esta jurisprudencia podría convertirse, además, en un límite a la potestad legislativa de los Estados que, como España, introdujeron importantes recortes en materia de pensiones en los años más duros de la última crisis económica y financiera mundial.En el segundo bloque se estudia el impacto de dicha jurisprudencia del Tribunal Europeo de Dere­chos Humanos en el Tribunal de Justicia de la Unión Europea, del que la cuestión prejudicial Florescu es, hoy por hoy, la única exponente. Por último se analiza la jurisprudencia de nuestro Tribunal Consti­tucional que viene manteniendo el criterio que en materia de prestaciones sociales no existe un derecho de propiedad, sino una expectativa de derecho no indemnizable.Palabras clave: Derecho de propiedad, prestaciones contributivas, prestaciones no contributivas, Primer Protocolo Adicional al Convenio Europeo de Derechos Humanos.Abstract: Although the right to Social Security is regulated in numerous international Treaties, neither the European Convention on Human Rights nor its Additional Protocols contemplate it. Never­theless, there are numerous judgments of the European Court of Human Rights that have for object the protection of the right to receive social contributory, non-contributory and of a mixed nature benefits. The common element in these judgments - which are analyzed in the first block - is that the Court starts from the premise that the right to social benefits is a property right that can be protected under the first article of the First Additional Protocol to the European Convention. of Human Rights. Based on this pre­cept, Spain has already been sentenced twice in cases related to Social Security pensions. This jurisprudence could also become a limit to the legislative power of States that, like Spain, introduced important pension cuts in the harshest years of the last global economic and financial crisis.The second block examines the impact of this jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights in the Court of Justice of the European Union, of which the preliminary question Florescu is, at present, the only exponent. Finally, we analyze the jurisprudence of our Constitutional Court that has maintained the criterion that in the field of social benefits there is no property right, but an expectation of non-compensable right.Keywords: Property rights, contributory benefits, non-contributory benefits, First Additional Pro­tocol to the European Convention on Human Rights.
