Publisher's Synopsis
From the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty to policy changes in countering terrorism: 2009 was a year rich in legal and political developments that directly implicate human rights. Opening with four articles on 2009Æs most important human rights topics, the Yearbook contains extensive sections on developments in the field of the three main organizations charged with securing human rights in Europe: EU, Council of Europe and OSCE. A further chapter looks at the role of civil society in human rights protection and at multidisciplinary topics.
