Content
This new edition builds on the excellent reputation of the bestselling first edition.Unlike other texts in this area which take an article by article analysis of the Convention, European Human Rights Law gives a thematic treatment to the different areas of law. This unique approach, coupled with the author's ability to clearly and simply summarise the case-law, while providing expert analysis and commentary, and an enormous depth of research, is unparalleled. This all makes European Human Rights Law essential reading for lawyers, advisers, public authorities and academics.
