Europäische Grundrechte und Grundfreiheiten

European Law is increasingly displacing and replacing national law. Previous presentations of European law have focused mainly on the institutions. Citizens and their legal positions have been too often overlooked.
This textbook, which is already in its third edition, applies a unified didactic concept to the examination of the essential issues of the European Fundamental Rights and Freedoms. The comprehensively revised new edition takes into consideration all amendments and includes not only the most current supplementary protocols to the European Convention on Human Rights but also the Treaty Establishing a Constitution for Europe and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.

This textbook's target audience is primarily students and trainees, but is also geared towards courts, public authorities and associations as well as all those interested in European law.

"In a nutshell, this book offers an excellent first assessment of the present statur of the Charter and of possible future developments in a crucial domain of EU law, both in terms of legislative action and judicial practice."
