The third edition of European Human
Rights Law: Text and Materials has been substantially expanded to
provide a complete review of the wide range of rights the Convention
protects, with new chapters on the right to life, property,
discrimination, religious freedom, and education. The book introduces
both the process and the substance of this increasingly important
area of European law.
A broad selection of extracts from
essential cases and materials is accompanied by stimulating
commentary that guides the reader through the legal rules and court
system that have evolved in Strasbourg, how the court works, and how
European human rights law is enforced both at the national and
international level. European human rights law is also placed into a
useful comparative framework alongside human rights cases decided by
courts in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere.
This third edition has been extensively
updated to cover the major developments of recent years, including
the reform of the European Court of Human Rights and the expansion of
the system to central and eastern Europe.
Readership: Human rights is a
popular optional module usually taken in the second or third year of
the LLB. It is also a popular LLM course.
