Abstract
Fight to terrorism is very necessary and states always use their power to fight this phenomenon. Anti-terroristic action are being taken under the society`s general benefits and in this way, the personal human rights is being intervened and violated some time. For instance, the citizens` privacy is being violated in order to fight and prevent the terroristic attacks.
As recently Europe is under the crisis of severe migration and some terroristic acts, and consequently the states inevitably restrict some aspects of right to privacy, this paper is seeking to evaluate the states` practice according to the European convention of human rights and in accordance with the European court of human rights` practice and respond whether it is possible to sacrifice the fundamental human rights to fighting terrorism.
Finally, according to the European convention of human rights and the European court of human rights` case law besides the guidelines of council of Europe, under special circumstances, we could respect the right to privacy and decrease this right`s scope limitedly and temporarily in order to pursue important purposes like maintaining the society as a whole or following the important social needs.
