More DescriptionThis book is about the protection of human rights in the European Union. It provides a much-needed account and analysis of the evolution, current situation and future prospects of human rights protection under EU law.
Setting the development of human rights protection within an international context, the authors outline the scope, substance and control machinery of the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Social Charter. They then examine relevant ECJ case law and assess its implications for Community institutions and Member States, illustrating the significance of the European Convention for EU lawyers. Particular attention is paid to the impact of the Amsterdam Treaty and of the decison to incorporate the Convention into UK law.
