Human Rights Law Directions - Howard Davis

. .

Résumé :
Why do the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg have such an impact on UK law?

Why did the UK need a Human Rights Act - and why do some people say it should be repealed?

The Directions series has been written with students in mind. The ideal guide as they approach the subject for the first time, this book will help them:
