Description

This open access book provides a comprehensive exploration of the EU's role, as a regional international organisation, in the protection of human rights within national legal orders.

Emphasising the distinctive features of this contribution, it brings clarity for both EU and non-EU lawyers, particularly scholars of public and human rights law. By taking a cross-cutting approach-examining the capacity, nature, and adjudication of EU Fundamental Rights Law-it expertly navigates the intricacies of this system. Moreover, it advocates for a political turn in EU Fundamental Rights Law-one that enables European society to meaningfully engage with the deeper issues underpinning this legal framework.

This is an invaluable tool for scholars and practitioners in the fields of European law, public law, human rights, and International law.
