Introduction
"Margin of appreciation" refers to the power of a Contracting State in
assessing the factual circumstances, and in applying the provisions
envisaged in international human rights instruments. Margin of
appreciation is based on the notion that each society is entitled to
certain latitude in balancing individual rights and national interests,
as well as in resolving conflicts that emerge as a result of diverse
moral convictions. In this regard, the doctrine is analogous to the
concept of judicial discretion, where a judge, in line with certain
constraints prescribed by legislation, precedent or custom, could decide
a case within a range of possible solutions. The role of discretion is
indispensable not only for bridging the gap between the law and changing
realities of dynamic social organisms, but also for answering the
particular questions of a given case in the absence of overall enacted
or case law. In other words, judges are entitled to exercise discretion
to make fair decisions in a specific case, without being locked into a
formula that might not be applicable to every scenario.
Similarly, margin of appreciation is designed to provide flexibility in
resolving conflicts emerging from diverse social, political, cultural
and legal traditions of Contracting States within the European context.
Indeed, as shown below, one of the rationales behind the doctrine
relates to the fact that national authorities are in a better position
than the international judge to assess the concrete circumstances of a
case. Yet, the said discretion must be exercised in a fair and impartial
manner that does not run counter to the standards set out by law, i.e.,
the potential abuse of discretion poses the main challenge in the
legitimate application of the doctrine. Since law regulates the rights
and duties of the individual members of a given society, principled
exercise of the doctrine to furnish legal clarity is of extreme
importance. An over-subjective and unprincipled application of
discretion might not only...
