It is not always easy to understand what requirements are set in these different instruments and how they interrelate. This textbook therefore provides an integrated and systematic overview of the requirements imposed by international and European fundamental rights law. It discusses a range of both civil/political fundamental rights (eg freedom of expression) and social/economic rights (eg right to health), for each of which it is discussed how it is protected by the ECHR, by other Council of Europe instruments, by EU law, and by international treaty instruments. Each chapter is concluded with an integration section, which explains the relations between the different systems of fundamental rights protection and discuss differences, overlap and bottlenecks Notes Vendor-supplied metadata SUBJECT Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (1950 November 5) Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union (2000 December 7) Subject Civil rights -- European Union countries Political rights -- European Union countries Social rights -- European Union countries International and municipal law -- European Union countries International law and human rights Form Electronic book Author Gerards, Janneke, editor ISBN 9781009255721 100925572X
