Book excerpt: Council of Europe Publishing brings together in one book a comprehensive explanation of the two main human rights texts encompassing both civil & political rights & economic, social & cultural rights: the European Convention on Human Rights & the European Social Charter. This book explains both the substantive legal standards contained in the Convention & the Charter & the means by which those standards evolve in response to a changing Europe. In the form of over 300 case studies, it brings to life concrete situations in which these rights have been questioned & defended. This book is targeted at university students in international law & at all those interested in the human rights challenge in Europe. But it also sheds light on similarities with other national structures, in the US & in a number of Commonwealth countries.
