This book provides comprehensive coverage of the law and procedure of the European Court of Human Rights. It incorporates a step-by-step approach to the litigation process, covering areas such as lodging the initial application, seeking priority treatment, friendly settlement, the pilotjudgment procedure, just satisfaction, enforcement of judgments, and Grand Chamber referrals. This new edition has been fully revised to take account of the latest developments in the Court's practice since 2010, including: the introduction (in 2014) of a mandatory application form; the updated Court Rules and practice directions; a more expansive approach to interim measures; theapplication of the "no significant disadvantage" admissibility test and further applications of the exhaustion of domestic remedies rule and the six months' time limit; the steep rise in the use of unilateral declarations in striking cases out; developments in the use of "Article 46" and pilotjudgments; and the more extensive application of non-pecuniary measures of redress (including reinstatement to employment, disclosure of information and the protection of witnesses). This edition includes an expanded and up-to-date article-by-article commentary on the substantive law of the European Convention. Issues covered by the recent case-law include secret rendition, restrictions on in vitro fertilization, medical mistreatment, the treatment of migrants at sea and asylumprocedures, states' extra-territorial jurisdiction, same-sex partnerships, and discrimination. There is new law on the rights of suspects, defendants and life sentence prisoners, and the duties owed to the victims of domestic violence, domestic servitude, and human trafficking. With such vastcoverage and accessibility, this book is indispensable for anyone studying in this field.
The Council of Europe was established in 1948. Article 3 of the Statute of Council states that members should undertake to ensure human rights and fundamental freedoms. Under the Council two major human rights instruments were made. The European Convention of Human Rights (full title being Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms) and The European Social Charter. The Council website has information about itself and it's activities as well as the text of Council of Europe treaties via it's Treaty Office.
European Court of Human Rights was established by the Council of Europe in 1959 to hear cases against member nations in relation to possible breaches of human rights under the Convention. The website has information and basic text relating to the court. Between 1959 and 1998 The European Commission of Human Rights existed to hear potential cases and if they were well founded the case would then proceed on to the Court. These are often know as either 'admissability decisions' or 'decisions and reports' and a selection are reported up to 1998 in a printed series called European Commission of Human Rights Decisions and Reports (abbreviated to D.R.). In 1998 the Court started to sit as a full time Court (under Protocol 11) and so now makes admissability decisions within it's own system.
HUDOC ( judgments and decisions of the ECHR) is a database of judgments from the European Court of Human rights. It also includes admissibility decisions, opinions and reports. The site can be searched by party name, application number, subject or you can search the database for cases relating to specific articles of the Convention. For further help in finding information see the presentation below or see the tutorials prepared by the Court.
The collection in the Bodleian Law Library is contained mainly within the International Section but some of these publications will also be available online.
