Court Name: The European Court of Human Rights (First Section

Case Number: 68955/11

Case Summary: The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) considered the lawfulness of a Croatian court's decision to authorize surveillance on Ante Dragojević’s phone in a case involving allegations of possible drug trafficking between Latin America and Europe via ocean carriers. Dragojević, a sailor, was subjected to secret surveillance for a period of 6 months. The ECtHR found that the surveillance was unlawful under Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) because Croatia's domestic procedures for authorizing surveillance did not provide sufficient safeguards against potential abuse through surveillance.

Case Significance: The decision establishes a binding or persuasive precedent within its jurisdiction.
