Summary/Abstract: Over time, case law is formed in the courts, which is followed to solve cases of a similar nature. Analyzing examples of case law in which liability for the taking of human life is investigated in context of Lithuanian law, the ECtHR was chosen for the discussion of decisions, since the ECtHR is one of the institutions that decides how correctly the provisions of Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights on the human right to life have been implemented. The relevance of the topic is determined by the fact that inappropriate actions of humanity require a new review of responsibility and legal regulation of liability for taking human life.
