Originally, the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) was meant to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals against interference from the state. However it has become apparent that the ECHR matters also in the 'horizontal' relationships between private parties. Over the last two decades, the ECHR has come to play a major role in a large number of private law issues. As a result, the case-law of the ECtHR has triggered significant changes in Contracting States' domestic private laws. The aim of this book is to provide a broader view of the impact of the ECHR on national private law. To that end, it begins with a comparative analysis of the interaction between the ECHR and the States Parties' domestic laws, focusing on two jurisdictions: Germany and Italy. The chapters forming the main part of the book explore the influence of the ECHR on a wide range of fields of private law. The analysis of cases reveals many common features in the decisions of the ECtHR involving issues of private law. The final part of the book focuses on a number of overarching issues, in particular on the role of comparative law in the reasoning of the ECtHR and on the contribution of the ECHR to European harmonisation of private law. What becomes apparent from the various contributions is that the ECHR and the case-law of the ECtHR are becoming important elements of a common European private law.

"General Principles of the European Convention on Human Rights The European Convention on Human Rights is one of the world's most important and influential human rights documents. It owes its value mainly to the European Court of Human Rights, which applies the Convention rights in individual cases. This book offers a clear insight into the concepts and principles that are key to understanding the European Convention and the Court's case law. It explains how the Court generally approaches the many cases brought before it and which tools help it to decide on these cases, illustrated by numerous examples taken from the Court's judgments. Core issues discussed are the types of Convention rights (such as absolute rights); the structure of the Court's Convention rights review; principles and methods of interpretation (such as common ground interpretation and the use of precedent); positive and negative obligations; vertical and horizontal effect; the margin of appreciation doctrine; and requirements for the restriction of Convention rights. Janneke Gerards is Professor of fundamental rights law at Utrecht University, the Netherlands. She has published widely in the field of European and national fundamental rights, constitutional law and judicial argumentation, and she teaches in various university and professional training courses on European fundamental rights. Janneke Gerards is also a deputy Judge in the Appeals Court of The Hague and a member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.

La Convention européenne des droits de l’homme est un traité international qui reconnait un ensemble de droits fondamentaux à tous les individus qui relèvent de la « juridiction » des États qui y sont parties. Elle permet, en outre, à ces mêmes individus, en cas de méconnaissance de leurs droits, de saisir une juridiction internationale qu’est la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme, habilitée à rendre un arrêt contraignant à l’égard de l’État qui viendrait manquer à ses promesses. Le présent ouvrage propose un regard général sur ce système dont il s’attache avant tout à souligner la singularité et la nécessité. Il retrace la genèse et l’évolution de la Convention, avant d’envisager les valeurs qui la fondent, les principes interprétatifs qui la commandent, les droits et libertés qu’elle consacre, ainsi que les obligations qu’elle impose corrélativement aux États. Il s’emploie ensuite à circonscrire l’office subsidiaire de la Cour européenne des droits de l’homme. Il expose notamment les conditions de sa saisine, de même qu’il décrit la portée et l’autorité de ses arrêts qui visent autant à « rendre la justice » qu’à « dire le droit ».Enfin, il n’esquive pas les questions et résistances que ce système suscite, de même que les défis majeurs – internes comme externes – auxquels il se voit aujourd’hui confronté.Fondamentalement, l’ouvrage cherche à illustrer les vertus de ce mécanisme unique de garantie des droits fondamentaux institué au sortir de la Seconde guerre mondiale pour servir la démocratie et l’État de droit en Europe.
