Reihe: International Studies in Human Rights

Until Maastricht, few scholars saw the EU as having any implications at all for civil liberties and human rights and even the implications of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) on domestic law of European nations have only slowly come to be fully realised.

While there is now an improved understanding of the role of the ECHR within each member state individually, at least as far as the law of that member state is concerned, there is still not a great deal of understanding of how the Convention operates in other countries.

In the United Kingdom, for example, very little is known about the impact of the ECHR on other European jurisdictions, and presumably the same is true in France, Germany and so on. It is this gap in our knowledge of comparative civil liberties that the study addresses.
