KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Legitimate Aim
A legitimate aim is a required justification for a state to interfere with certain protected rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. Even where a right is qualified, interference is only lawful if it pursues a recognized legitimate objective.
Examples of legitimate aims include national security, public safety, the prevention of crime, and the protection of others’ rights. Additionally, the interference must be proportionate, meaning it must not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the intended aim.
