Routledge Shifting Centres of Gravity in Human Rights Protection - Routledge

This Routledge Research in Human Rights Law volume examines the complex interplay between the European Convention on Human Rights, EU fundamental rights protection, and national legal systems across Europe. The book brings together leading researchers in international human rights law, EU law, and constitutional law to analyse the ongoing tension over where human rights protection authority should be centred within the European legal landscape. It addresses both how the Convention system relates to Contracting States and how it positions itself alongside EU fundamental rights frameworks. The work provides critical insights into institutional and constitutional dimensions of this triangular relationship, exploring how key actors are redefining their roles and responsibilities in safeguarding human rights across multiple jurisdictional levels.
