The Council of Europe
The Council of Europe, of which all European States are members, plays a pivotal role in the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Europe. Bringing together specialist scholars and practitioners, The Council of Europe: Its Laws and Policies offers profound insights into the functioning of the organization. The organization's primary and secondary law, its institutional structure, and its far-reaching fields of activities are comprehensively and systematically analysed. This volume investigates the impact of the Council's activities within the national legal systems of the Member States and the dense web of relationships between the Council of Europe and other international organisations. An important reference work on one of the most influential organizations in Europe, the book concludes that the Council of Europe has played a considerable role in the constitutionalization process of regional public international law.
Council of Europe Law
Since its foundation, the Council of Europe has established a common legal system for European states, based on democracy, the rule of law and human rights. Its standard-setting texts have helped its members meet the challenges of changing societies and now apply all over Europe given the organisation¿s unprecedented geographical enlargement since 1989. In this connection, the Council of Europe has played a key role in the accession of the new member states to the European Union. The first section of the book deals with the "constitutional" law of the Council of Europe, or its internal statutes in the broad sense. It covers the 1949 Statute, which, along with related texts, lays down the Council¿s aims and determines its membership and operating methods. The second section concerns the role played by the Council of Europe - which has always been very active in standard-setting - in the harmonisation of European states¿ domestic law. The third section situates Council of Europe law in the European context. For instance, it studies the extent to which Council of Europe conventions have been incorporated in domestic law and how Council of Europe law and European Union law co-exist.
History of the Council of Europe
The Council of Europe, the oldest European organisation, was founded in 1949 with the aim of unifying the continent as a whole. The decision to establish its headquarters in Strasbourg was, moreover, symbolic of the desire for reconciliation between peoples. From the outset the Council of Europe adopted an institutional structure comprising a committee of ministers and a parliamentary assembly - the first in Europe. This book retraces the history of the Organisation. Consisting initially of Western European states, the Council of Europe was destined to embrace all the continent's countries, but the Cold War delayed its enlargement. It is only since 1989 that the Council of Europe has become ...
Council of Europe (CoE)
Derived from the renowned multi-volume International Encyclopaedia of Laws, this practical analysis of the structure, competence, and management of Council of Europe provides substantial and readily accessible information for lawyers, academics, and policymakers likely to have dealings with its activities and data.

The monograph proceeds logically from the organization’s genesis and historical development to the structure of its membership, its various organs and their mandat...
The Council of Europe and Human Rights
This book discusses human rights and how the Council of Europe protects them. It offers examples illustrating each right in the European Convention on Human Rights, and short explanations placing the European Court of Human Rights in the wider context of other Council of Europe activities that also promote the same ideals.--Publisher's description.
The Council of Europe
The Council of Europe is the oldest of European institutions. Under the banner of human rights and democracy, it brings together 47 member states, ranging from Finland to Turkey and from Switzerland to Russia. Its Parliamentary Assembly represents over 800 million Europeans and its conventions For The protection of social and fundamental rights are among the most successful in the world. However, this organisation receives little recognition and is still frequently confused with the European Union. Building upon the momentum created during the celebrations of the Council of Europe's 60th anniversary, this publication offers an opportunity to rediscover its history, activities and achievements
Democracy and Human Rights for Europe
Over 800 million Europeans can individually obtain a ruling from a European court against their State if it has violated their human rights. There is an assembly in Strasbourg where members of the Icelandic, Russian, Portuguese, German, Georgian and other European parliaments all sit together. A Congress exists whose sessions are attended by representatives of 200 000 local and regional authorities of Europe. All these statements relate to the Council of Europe, the first of the European institutions to be founded. Now 47 member states strong, the Council - which is to celebrate its 60th anniversary this year - has become one of the main institutions of intergovernmental co-operation. This b...
Human Rights in the Council of Europe and the European Union
Protocol to the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms
Convention européenne des droits de l'homme et Charte sociale européenne
Les éditions du Conseil de l'Europe ont rassemblé en un ouvrage de référence une explication didactique des deux textes principaux sur les droits de l'homme: la Convention européenne des Droits de l'Homme et la Charte sociale européenne. Ce livre explique les normes légales essentielles contenues dans la convention et dans la charte, et les moyens par lesquels ces normes ont evolué en réponse à une Europe en mutation. Par l'analyse de plus de 300 cas, cet ouvrage illustre des situations concrètes dans lesquelles ces droits ont été mis en cause et défendus. Ce livre s'adresse aux étudiants et aux juristes en droit international et droits de l'homme, mais aussi à toutes les organisations, gouvernementales ou associatives, qui luttent pour la protection des droits de l'homme en Europe. Il présente aussi les parallèles possibles avec un certain nombre de structures aux Etats-Unis et dans le Commonwealth.
