Pour marquer les 70 ans de la Convention européenne des droits de l’homme, un livre de prestige consacré à la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme vient d’être publié. L’ouvrage comporte de nombreuses photos inédites et retrace, notamment en images, l’histoire de la Cour instituée en 1959 par la Convention afin de veiller au respect de leurs engagements par les 47 États membres du Conseil de l’Europe.Pour la première fois, une copie du texte original de la Convention est reproduit. C’est aussi la première fois que sont réunis les portraits de tous les juges élus à la CEDH depuis sa création. Par ailleurs, 47 affaires, une par État, présentent ces arrêts qui ont fait l’Europe, leur genèse et surtout l’impact qu’ils ont eu dans les différents États parties à la Convention. Enfin, l’ouvrage ouvre les portes du Palais des droits de l’homme, œuvre architecturale emblématique, où s’écrit au quotidien le droit européen des droits de l’homme.

In recent years there has been a substantial debate over the interconnection between labour rights and human rights. Consequently, the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) concerning substantive individual labour rights, or ‘rights at work’, is coming to greater prominence at the national level throughout the forty-seven Member States of the Council of Europe. This is the first book in English to provide a thorough analysis of the Court’s most recent case law – cases considered in the period from 1963 to 2016 – on fundamental employment rights such as the right to wages, protection from discrimination and unfair dismissal, the right to occupational safety at work, and civil liberties such as the freedom of association, the freedom of religion and expression, and the right to privacy.Drawing on close scrutiny of 347 cases since 1963, the author traces the evolutionary development of the Court’s positions on labour rights as human rights through case analyses, commentary, and general conclusions in each of several categorical groupings. Recent trends are treated in substantial detail. Among the issues and topics raised are the following:interrelation of ECtHR case law and national labour rights protection;benefits for employees of reference to ECtHR case law in national proceedings;role of International Labour Organization conventions and of the European Social Charter in the Court’s reasoning;application of balancing and proportionality test in relevant to labour law cases;public criticism of employer, disclosure of information, and standards of whistle-blowers’ protection; andpositive obligations of the State in the field of occupational safety and health.This book offers the most detailed and considered analysis available of how individual labour rights have been referred to in the human rights jurisprudence of the ECtHR. Given that the Court’s positions have already changed certain aspects of some national labour laws, this peerless volume will prove indispensable for practitioners and scholars monitoring the growing applicability of human rights law in matters of labour and employment, especially in the areas of protection of wages, unjust dismissal, and occupational safety.

When international courts are given sweeping powers, why would they ever refuse to use them? The book explains how and when courts employ strategies for institutional survival and resilience: forbearance and audacity, which help them adjust their sovereignty costs to pre-empt and mitigate backlash and political pushback. By systematically analysing almost 2,300 judgements from the European Court of Human Rights from 1967-2016, Ezgi Yildiz traces how these strategies shaped the norm against torture and inhumane or degrading treatment. With expert interviews and a nuanced combination of social science and legal methods, Yildiz innovatively demonstrates what the norm entails, and when and how its contents changed over time. Exploring issues central to public international law and international relations, this interdisciplinary study makes a timely intervention in the debate on international courts, international norms, and legal change. This book is available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
