Details

The place of human rights in EU law has been a central issue in contemporary debates about the character of the European Union as a political organisation.

This Research Handbook explores the principles underlying fundamental rights norms and the way such norms operate in the case law of the Court of Justice. Leading scholars in the field discuss both the effect of rights on substantive areas of EU law and the role of EU institutions in protecting them.

Organised into three parts, their contributions examine the current state of the law as well as the direction of future developments in the field. The fir

st part discusses the normative and doctrinal framework for the protection of human rights in the EU.

The second part focuses on EU external relations and on the interaction between EU law and other sources of human rights rules such as the European Convention on Human Rights and international law. Finally, the third part considers the influence of human rights in areas where the EU takes action.

Timely and astute, this Research Handbook will appeal to students and scholars of European law and human rights law. It will also prove a valuable and comprehensive resource for practitioners, policy makers, NGO and government officials.
