It fully explores the extent of the Conventions influence upon the legal development of the contracting states, & reveals exactly how such a powerful authority has been achieved & maintained. It sets out & critically analyses each Convention article that constitutes the substantive guarantee, & examines the system of supervision.

For nearly all states, the Convention has been made directly enforceable in their national courts. For the remaining few, it offers a model for a national bill of rights. All of these considerations underline the immense value of the comprehensive account of the law of the Convention that this book provides. ...
