Arising from the work of two well-attended seminars, this new volume concentrates on highly topical issues in European Law current problems in the enforcement of human rights in Europe, and the Accession of EU to the European Convention on Human Rights.
Among the topics dealt with are, apart from the accession issue, questions related to the enforcement of the Charter of Fundamental Rights, Human Rights as General Principles of Law, specific issues like the Double Jeopardy Clause in relation to Swedish Tax Law, Horizontal Effect or so-called Drittwirkung of Human Rights and the increased role of Judicial and Constitutional Review in Swedish courts. The book should be of value for any reader with an interest in such matters.
