The Council of Europe

The Council of Europe plays a pivotal role in the promotion and protection of human rights in Europe, yet its work is often little understood. This volume provides a comprehensive analysis of the work of the Council of Europe and the legal framework within which it operates.



Stefanie Schmahl is Professor of German and Foreign Public Law, Public International Law, and European Law at Julius-Maximilians-Universitat Wurzburg, Germany.; Marten Breuer is Professor of Public Law with Reference to European Law and Public International Law at Universitat Konstanz, Germany.

Schmahl and Breuer's edited volume gives a broad overview and serves as an insight into the most prominent regional international organisation. Because of its thematic breadth, it may serve on the one hand as a practitioner's handbook ... On the other hand, it serves as a means of (first) information about certain areas of the Council of Europe for anyone interested in the work, objectives, institutions and suborgans, and conventions of the Council of Europe.

Zusammenfassung
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.
