"This book examines the political rights case law of the European Court of Human Rights. The book explores the conception of democracy underpinning the European Convention on Human Rights and the case law. The case law supports a conception of democracy that is liberal, representative and substantive. The book highlights how the Convention might be interpreted to support a more deliberative, participatory and inclusive model of democracy"--

"This book examines the interpretation and application of the right to freedom of religion and belief of new minorities formed by recent migration by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the United Nations Human Rights Committee (HRC). New minorities are increasingly confronted with restrictions of their religious practices and have addressed their rights claims both to the ECtHR and the HRC through their individual complaint procedures, which resulted in several contradicting decisions. Based on a quantitative and qualitative empirical analysis of the relevant case law, focusing in particular on the reasoning adopted by the two bodies, this book finds that the HRC in its practice offers a significantly higher level of protection to new minorities than the ECtHR. Such divergence may be explained by various institutional and conceptual differences, of which the concept of the margin of appreciation is the most influential. It is contended that the extensive use of the concept of the margin of appreciation by the ECtHR in the case law regarding new minorities' right to freedom of religion and belief, and the absence of such concept in the HRC's case law, could be explained by different understandings of the role of an international human rights body in conflicts between the majority and minorities. This book argues that such divergence could be mitigated with various tools, such as the inclusion of cross-references to the case law of other relevant bodies as well as to instruments specifically established for the protection of minorities"--

La 4e de couverture indique : "Ce qui frappe d'abord, c'est le nombre, la densité et la cohérence des opinions séparées rédigées. (...) La lecture des textes du juge Pinto de Albuquerque démontre magnifiquement que la publication d'opinions séparées est un élément important de la démocratie. (...) Cette vision cosmopolite de la jurisprudence, le juge Pinto de Albuquerque l'illustre de manière magistrale en franchissant les frontières bien au-delà du cadre européen pour rechercher ce qui pourrait être de l'ordre d'une forme de "bien commun" juridique universel. (...) C'est peut-être parce qu'il est à la fois un juge et un professeur que le juge Pinto de Albuquerque fait un lien si simple et évident entre le travail théorique sur les normes et le travail d'élaboration de la décision qui tient compte de la vie telle qu'elle est." Nicole Maestracci, Membre du Conseil constitutionnel, France ; "Le juge Pinto de Albuquerque aura marqué à sa façon l'histoire de la Cour EDH en lui offrant une contribution originale aussi riche pour le passé (celui des arrêts rendus, que ses opinions éclairent) que pour l'avenir (celui des futurs arrêts qui puiseront dans ses opinions d'inépuisables ressources d'interprétation). En ces temps de globalisation des sources, le rayonnement de ses écrits va d'ailleurs bien au-delà de la Cour. (...)" Hugues Fulchiron, Conseiller à la Cour de cassation, France"

With its contextualized analysis of the European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) engagement in Turkey's Kurdish conflict since the early 1990s, Limits of Supranational Justice makes a much-needed contribution to scholarships on supranational courts and legal mobilization. Based on a socio-legal account of the efforts of Kurdish lawyers in mobilizing the ECtHR on behalf of abducted, executed, tortured and displaced civilians under emergency rule, and a doctrinal legal analysis of the ECtHR's jurisprudence in these cases, this book powerfully demonstrates the Strasbourg court's failure to end gross violations in the Kurdish region. It brings together legal, political, sociological and historical narratives, and highlights the factors enabling the perpetuation of state violence and political repression against the Kurds. The effectiveness of supranational courts can best be assessed in hard cases such as Turkey, and this book demonstrates the need for a reappraisal of current academic and jurisprudential approaches to authoritarian regimes.
