Case Law Key Extracts - European Court of Human Rights (june 2003)

The first application to the European Commission of Human Rights was in 1955 and the European Court of Human Rights delivered its judgment in 1961. There are now several hundred published volumes of judgments and decisions - a huge body of case-law whose sheer bulk can make in inconvenient to consult. The author of this book, a legal specialist, has condensed the case-law into a single volume. For each article of the Convention, the book offers key passages from Court judgments and from some of the Commission's decisons, together with commentary on each passage. The aim is to provide as many quotes from judgments as possible in one clear, easy to consult introduction to the Council of Europe's human rights court.
A detailed table of contents and a comprehensive index are provided to aid the reader, making this an essantial tool for beginner and Convention specialist alike.
