The application of the European Convention on Human Rights

the long version

Drawing on his unique and extensive experience as President of the European Commission of Human Rights, Sir James Fawcett provides a detailed description of the reports and decisions of the European Convention on Human Rights from 1968 through 1982 and beyond. In light of the vast expansion of human rights that has occurred since 1968, Fawcett dispenses with legal and political doctrine to focus instead on the Convention itself. This revised and updated survey will be the first point of reference for students and scholars of human rights law.--Publisher description.
