European Civil Liberties and the European Convention on Human Rights (International Studies in Human Rights) 1e uitgave

Until Maastricht, few saw the EU as having any implications at all for civil liberties and human rights and even the implications of the European convention of Human Rights (ECHR) on domestic law of European nations have only gradually been fully realized. This study examines the implications for civil liberties of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), looking at the domestic law of leading European jurisdictions and the impact of the ECHR within these legal systems.
