Synopsis

The developments which have taken place under the Convention since the second edition of this title was published have been numerous and comprehensive, and the Convention has gained a central position in the legal systems of many European countries. Three protocols have been added to the Convention; the number of parties to the Convention has grown from 22 to 36; and the case-law concerning the Convention has increased significantly. Like its predecessors, this third edition offers a full description of the procedural practice and case-law of both the European Commission and the European Court of Human Rights. Protocol No 11 to the Convention, which will enter into force by the end of 1998, will drastically change the supervisory system under the Convention, establishing one Court. This Court will also perform the present functions of the Commission and it is expected that it will be guided by the Commission's procedures and working methods, and by its case-law concerning admissibility.
