Publisher's Synopsis
This second edition is a revised and updated survey of the application of the Convention, describing the reports and decisions of its appointed organs, Article by Article and Clause by Clause, from 1968 to the end of 1982, and in some instances more recently than that. Given the vast expansion of human rights since 1968, the survey has been confined to the Convention, and there is no attempt to discuss legal or political doctrine. The new edition which draws upon the author's unique and extensive experiences as President of the European Commission of Human Rights will, like its forerunner, be the first point of reference for students and scholars of European Human Rights. Please note that the paperback edition only is available on inspection.
