Summary
"Through legal and social science-based analyses, this book explains why international courts underutilize their power and traces how this impacts international norms. Using the norm against torture and inhumane or degrading treatment as an example, it systematically analyses judgements from the European Court of Human Rights, 1967-2016"-- Provided by the publisher
