Description: "At fifty, the European Court of Human Rights finds itself in a new institutional setting. With the EU joining the European Convention on Human Rights in the near future, and the Court increasingly having to address the responsibility of states in UN-led military operations, the Court faces important challenges at the national, European and international levels. In light of recent reform discussions, this volume addresses the multilevel relations of the Court by drawing on existing debates, pointing to current deficits and highlighting the need for further improvements"--Unedited summary from book cover.
