More DescriptionPrepared to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the signing of the European Convention of Human Rights in 1950, this major new book studies the effect of the ECHR on the domestic law and public affairs of 32 of its Member States. Today it is increasingly important for practitioners and academics to be knowledgeable about the operation of the ECHR in other European member states, and this book is excellent both for comparative purposes and as an influential source upon the developing case law of the European Court of Human Rights.The book will be of special interest in the UK where the ECHR has recently been incorporated into its own domestic law under the terms of the Human Rights Act 1998. The book's editors, Professor Robert Blackburn and Dr Jörg Polakiewicz, are recognized authorities on European human rights law.
