The ECHR continues the proceedings initiated by DIGNITAS against the French State

25 September 2023

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has decided to communicate to the French Government the applications filed by 31 people residing in France and to continue the proceedings initiated by DIGNITAS against the French State. This decision is an important step forward in ensuring that freedom of choice concerning the end of life is respected, and it should be of interest for the political debate and the ongoing preparatory work for an end-of-life-choice law in France.
