Annu Rev Popul Law. 1988;15:83.
The applicants were a citizen of Morocco, divorced from his Dutch wife, and his daughter, who lived with her mother. After the divorce, the Government of the Netherlands refused to renew the father's work permit and eventually expelled him from the country. The applicants argued that the Government's action violated Article 8 of the Convention, which protects family life. The European Court of Human Rights agreed and held that Article 8 had been violated because the refusal to renew the work permit and the expulsion of the father prevented the applicants from maintaining regular contact.
申请人是一名摩洛哥公民,与他的荷兰籍妻子离婚,他的女儿与母亲生活在一起。离婚后,荷兰政府拒绝为这位父亲续签工作许可,并最终将他驱逐出境。申请人辩称,政府的行为违反了《公约》第八条,该条保护家庭生活。欧洲人权法院对此表示认同,并裁定第八条遭到了违反,因为拒绝续签工作许可以及驱逐父亲的行为使申请人无法保持正常联系。
