Child rights in Europe (2008) Europeans and their rights - Child rights in Europe (2008) Author(:Géraldine Van Bueren Format:16 x 24cm. Pages 200. This volume analyses the effectiveness of the judicial protection of children’s rights within one regional organisation, the Council of Europe. The issue of children’s protection is of increasing importance in Europe and the courts have therefore become one of the means for transforming social values and influencing traditional conduct towards children. The extent to which common standards have been developed by the courts in implementing children’s rights is examined both from the perspective of the European Court of Human Rights and the judgments of the highest national courts within the Member States of the Council of Europe. Further analysis is made of the Council of Europe’s Social Charter and the reports of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment.

Europeans and their rights - Freedom of religion (2007) Europeans and their rights - Freedom of religion (2007) Synopsis The Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the European Convention on Human Rights proclaim that everyone has the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion, including freedom to manifest their religion or belief in worship, teaching, practice and observance. Even today, in our democratic societies too, this fundamental right is still sometimes restricted and meets with hostility and intolerance. Using concrete examples, the author compares and analyses the protection of the right to freedom of religion in the case-law of European constitutional courts and of the European Court of Human Rights of the Council of Europe, in order to establish whether there is such a thing as general European law in this sphere.

The Right to Life in European constitutional and international case law (2006) Author: Prof.Bertrand Mathieu, Univ. of Paris Format:16 x 24 cm. Pages 120. The right to life is the prime individual right in treaty and constitution systems of fundamental rights. The whole approach to protecting this right has changed considerably with scientific and medical advances. Whereas traditionally the concern was to protect life from all threats, today there is the additional very prominent issue of human — scientific and medical — intervention in the life-giving process in such forms as abortion, medically assisted procreation, embryo research, cloning and euthanasia. This comparative analysis of the case law of Europe's constitutional courts and the Council of Europe's European Court of Human Rights examines the nature and scope of the right to life in order to determine whether there is a common legal approach to the question in Europe.
