Publisher's Synopsis
This fourth edition of Jacobs & White: The European Convention on Human Rights has been fully revised and updated to take account of all the significant developments since 2002. It includes full treatment of a number of major judgments of the Court in recent years. Both the procedure for bringing a claim before the Strasbourg Court and the substantive law of the Convention are covered. The book follows the structure of the Convention itself in explaining the key principles established by the case law of the Court of Human Rights. All these developments are explained in a narrative and accessible style. It is ideal for undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners who want an in-depth analysis of the work of the European Court of Human Rights. Those new to the subject will obtain a comprehensive understanding of the work of the Strasbourg organs and the current state of European Convention case law.
