  YOUNG, JAMES ET WEBSTER c. ROYAUME-UNI

  Auszug aus EGMR, 11.01.2006 - 52562/99

  The Act on Protection against Dismissal due to Association Membership was passed by Parliament in 1982 as a result, inter alia, of the British Rail judgment (Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, Series A no. 44) delivered by the Court of Human Rights in 1981.

  "Act no. 285 of 9 June 1982 on Protection against Dismissal due to Association Membership was passed notably in order to comply with the negative right to freedom of association to the extent that such an obligation could be established according to the interpretation of Article 11 of the Convention given by the Court of Human Rights in the Young, James and Webster v. the UK judgment, Series A no. 44 (British Rail).

  The Act on Protection against Dismissal due to Association Membership of 9 June 1982 (which was passed as a direct result of the Court's ruling in Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, judgment of 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44), as amended by Act no. 347 of 29 May 1990, reads in so far as relevant:.

  "According to the Young, James and Webster v. UK judgment of 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44 (British Rail) it is in breach of Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights concerning freedom of association to dismiss an employee who refuses to join a trade union with whom the employer has entered into a closed-shop agreement at a time after the employment of the employee, in so far as membership was not a condition for the employment.

  The Court's case-law on this point had not altered since the case of Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom (judgment of 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44).

  However, as was emphasised by the Court in the case of Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom (judgment of 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44, § 53), it is not the role of the Court to review a closed-shop system as such in relation to the Convention or to express an opinion on every consequence or form of compulsion which it may engender.

  In Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom (judgment of 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44, § 52) the Court held that, even assuming that a general rule such as the one contained in Article 20 § 2 of the Universal Declaration could not be regarded as itself enshrined in the Convention, it did not follow that the negative aspect of a person's freedom of association fell completely outside the ambit of Article 11 and that each and every compulsion to join a particular trade union was compatible with the intention of that provision.

  SIGURÐUR A. SIGURJÓNSSON v. ICELAND

  Auszug aus EGMR, 11.01.2006 - 52562/99

  Accordingly, Article 11 must also be viewed as encompassing a negative right of association or, put in other words, a right not to be forced to join an association (see Sigurdur Sigurjónsson v. Iceland judgment of 30 June 1993, Series A no. 264, § 35).

  That a negative right of association is protected by Article 11, at least to some extent, has been confirmed in the Court's subsequent case-law, but as the majority rightly stressed, the Court has hitherto not taken any definite stand on whether the negative and positive aspects of the right to freedom of association should be afforded the same level of protection (see, in particular, Sigurjónsson v. Iceland (judgment of 30 June 1993, Series A no. 264, § 35)).

  SIBSON c. ROYAUME-UNI

  Auszug aus EGMR, 11.01.2006 - 52562/99

  The same goes for the remainder of the judgments that the parties have referred to (Sibson v. U.K. judgment of 20 April 1993, Series A no. 258 and the Gustafsson v. Sweden judgment of 25 April 1996, Reports of Judgments and Decisions 1996-II)".

  In Sibson v. the United Kingdom (judgment of 20 April 1993, Series A no. 258) a closed-shop agreement never came into effect although the applicant was forced to leave his job because of a demand to join a union which was not prescribed at the time of his recruitment.

  JENSEN and RASMUSSEN v. DENMARK

  Auszug aus EGMR, 11.01.2006 - 52562/99

  52562/99 and 52620/99 against the Kingdom of Denmark lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms ("the Convention") by two Danish nationals, Morten Sørensen ("the first applicant") and Ove Rasmussen ("the second applicant"), on 7 October 1999 and 22 September 1999 respectively.

  The question of the lawfulness of closed-shop agreements in relation to the Act on Protection against Dismissal due to Association Membership of 9 June 1982 and to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms was examined by the Supreme Court in a judgment of 6 May 1999 (concerning the applicant Jensen in the original application no. 52620/99, Jensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark).

  However it is far from being unusual that an individual seeking a job is "compelled" to accept requirements which are contrary to, for example, his personal views or interfere with his private or family life (see mutatis mutandis Dahlab v. Switzerland (dec.) no. 42393/98, 15 February 2001 (requirement for a teacher not to wear a headscarf) and Madsen v.

  Thus, in the context of Article 11, although the essential object is to protect the individual against arbitrary interference by public authorities with the exercise of the rights protected, the national authorities may in certain circumstances be obliged to intervene in the relationship between private individuals by taking reasonable and appropriate measures to secure the effective enjoyment of those rights (see, mutatis mutandis, Young, James and Webster, § 49 and Gustafsson, § 45, both cited above, and Wilson the National Union of Journalists and Others v. the United Kingdom, nos. 30668/96, 30671/96 and 30678/96, § 41, ECHR 2002 V).

  According to the Court's established case-law, costs and expenses will not be awarded under Article 41 unless it is established that they were actually incurred, were necessarily incurred and were also reasonable as to quantum (see Sunday Times v. the United Kingdom, judgment of 6 November 1980 (former Article 50), Series A no. 38, p. 13, § 23).

  In the area of trade-union freedom and in view of the sensitive character of the social and political issues involved in achieving a proper balance between the respective interests of labour and management, and given the wide degree of divergence between the domestic systems in this field, the Contracting States enjoy a wide margin of appreciation as to how the freedom of trade unions to protect the occupational interests of their members may be secured (see Swedish Engine Drivers' Union v. Sweden, judgment of 6 February 1976, Series A no. 20, pp. 14-15, § 39; Gustafsson, cited above, pp. 652-53, § 45; and Schettini and Others v.

  By way of example, in finding that the right to organise had a negative aspect which excluded closed-shop agreements, the Court considered, largely on the basis of the European Social Charter and the case-law of its supervisory organs, together with other European or universal instruments, that there was a growing measure of agreement on the subject at international level (see Sigurður A. Sigurjónsson v. Iceland, 30 June 1993, § 35, Series A no. 264; and Sørensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark [GC], nos. 52562/99 and 52620/99, §§ 72-75, ECHR 2006-...).

  IDENTOBA AND OTHERS v. GEORGIA

  In that context, it has held that although individual interests must on occasion be subordinated to those of a group, democracy does not simply mean that the views of the majority must always prevail: a balance must be achieved which ensures the fair and proper treatment of minorities and avoids any abuse of a dominant position (see Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, 13 August 1981, Series A no. 44, p. 25, § 63; Sørensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark [GC], nos. 52562/99 and 52620/99, § 58, ECHR 2006-I, and Fáber v. Hungary, no. 40721/08, §§ 37-41, 24 July 2012).

  VÖRDUR ÓLAFSSON c. ISLANDE

  Thus the Court had correctly held that compulsion to join a particular trade union and to fund its activities contrary to the negative aspect of the right to freedom of association, "str[uck] at the very substance of the freedom of association guaranteed by Article 11" (he cited Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, 13 August 1981, § 55, Series A no. 44, and Sørensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark [GC], nos. 52562/99 and 52620/99, § 54, ECHR 2006-I).
• EGMR, 06.11.2012 - 47335/06

  REDFEARN v. THE UNITED KINGDOM

  They submitted that in assessing the extent, if any, of the State's positive obligation, the Court should consider whether the nature of the interference struck at the "very substance" of the right or freedom concerned (Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, 13 August 1981, § 55, Series A no. 44, Sørensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark [GC], nos. 52562/99 and 52620/99, § 54, ECHR 2006-I).

  Consequently, the Court accepts that the consequences of his dismissal were serious and capable of striking at the very substance of his rights under Article 11 of the Convention (Sørensen and Rasmussen v. Denmark [GC], nos. 52562/99 and 52620/99, §§ 61 and 62, ECHR 2006-I and Young, James and Webster v. the United Kingdom, cited above, § 55).
