Grundrechtsschutz zwischen Karlsruhe und Straßburg

Protection of fundamental rights in Europe takes place in a tense balance between EU law, the Convention on Human Rights, and national constitutions. The author draws potential parallels to the relationship between the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Justice, and proposes a dogmatic model for the complimentary protection of fundamental rights.

• Delivers a new impetus for resolving the volatile, unsettled relationship between the Federal Constitutional Court and the European Court of Human Rights
• A lecture with highly topical connections to various issues, including preventive detention, presented before the Law Society of Berlin on July 13, 2011
