Council of Europe Law

📖 The Scoop

The first section of the book deals with the "constitutional" law of the Council of Europe, namely its internal statutes in the broad sense. It covers the 1949 Statute, which, along with related texts, lays down the Council's aims and determines its membership and operating methods. The second section concerns the role played by the Council of Europe - which has always been very active in standard-setting - in the harmonisation of domestic law within the European states. The third section places Council of Europe law in the European context. For instance, it studies the extent to which Council of Europe conventions have been incorporated into domestic law and how Council of Europe law and European Union law coexist. The authors, Florence Benoit-Rohmer - Professor of Public Law at the Universite Robert Schuman (Strasbourg) - and Heinrich Klebes - Doctor of Law and honorary Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe - present an overview of the body of law developed by the Council of Europe.
