European Human Rights Law: Text and Materials
No Customer Reviews
European Human Rights Law, published in 1990, was the first attempt at introducing American law students to the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights, a court that has been remarkably successful in developing and applying a law of human rights that is, in many ways, parallel to the constitutional protections established in the United States. Since the publication of this first edition, the ECHR has cited nearly as many cases in the past five years as from its founding in the 1950s.
This second edition of European Human Rights Law incorporates these new cases, a chapter review of structural changes now pending ratification, and a review of changes in the Strasbourg system resulting from the admission of the newly democratic states of Central and Eastern Europe. Also included are chapters on Article 5: the Right to Liberty, and on the application of the treaty in domestic law, focusing on Britain. Thoroughly revised, updated, and expanded, this popular text and materials book places the European Convention within a comparative framework discussing cases from the US, Canada, and the UK. This book will continue to prove popular with students and teachers as a teaching resource and to practitioners as a work of reference.
