Reihe: International Studies in Human Rights

In The European Union and Human Rights, leading experts give their views on a broad range of issues, such as:

property rights

the freedom of expression for commercial actors

the principle of government openness

the right to vote and to be elected

freedom of movement

social rights as general principles of Community Law

workers' rights of participation

family rights and the position of women in the family

expulsion and extradition in and from the EU

the protection of minorities

the protection of cultural heritage

foreign policy and extraterritoriality

How does judicial protection under Union Law compare with standards of protection under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, or with national constitutional law? Is Maastricht a step forward in the protection of human rights? This book provides the answers.
