The European Court of Human Rights
Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-83910-833-4 (ISBN)
Written by a group of established and emerging experts from diverse backgrounds, this book offers a fresh perspective on the questions and challenges facing the ECHR, bringing together different, and thus far isolated, strands of academic and political debate. Contributions combine historiographical insights with explorations of the current and pressing need for the ECHR to find a role for itself, especially in an environment where there is increased scepticism towards the idea of human rights protection. In particular, the critical conception of the Convention as an 'alarm bell mechanism' is examined and assessed in relation to its original goal to prevent authoritarian backsliding.
The European Court of Human Rights: Current Challenges in Historical Perspective will be an important source of reference to academic researchers and students with an interest in human rights, international law and the law and politics of international organisations. It will also appeal to policymakers and legal practitioners due to its examination of pertinent legal and political issues that challenge international organisations.
Edited by Helmut Philipp Aust, Professor of Public and International Law, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany and Esra Demir-Gürsel, Georg Forster Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Faculty of Law, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
