The European Court's developing approach to remedies / Philip Leach -- National implementation of ECHR rights / Mads Andenas and Eirik Bjorge -- The court as a part of the council of Europe : the Parliamentary Assembly and the Committee of Ministers / Elisabeth Lambert-Abdelgawad -- Should the European Union ratify the European Convention for Human Rights?

At fifty, the European Court of Human Rights finds itself in a new institutional setting.

In light of recent reform discussions, this volume addresses the multi-level relations of the Court by drawing on existing debates, pointing to current deficits and highlighting the need for further improvements
