Description
This book sets out how the legal provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights, of which there are few, emerged into a vast body of European human rights law. The author presents a creative and thorough analysis of the case law of the European Court of Human rights and shows how the Court manages to bring and hold together judges coming from a great number of diverse legal and cultural traditions. The analysis of key issues, such as creativity, binding force of precedence and interpretation, illustrate the complexity of the case-by-case international protection of human rights. This analysis gives both scholars and practitioners a memorable insight into a prudent and innovative construct of opinions on the Court’s jurisprudence. The book provides a valuable contribution to the emerging European human rights law.
