A systematic guide to the Case-law of the European Court of Human Rights 1997-1998, Vol.IV

Book abstract:

This volume supplements the current (in 2000) three volumes of 'A Systematic Guide to the Case-Law of the European Court of Human Rights'. It covers the years 1997 and 1998, and follows the same system as the previous volumes. Thus this volume, together with Volumes I, II and III, offers a compilation of relevant passages of all the Court's judgements from 1960 up to and including 1998, arranged according to the Articles of the Convention and its Protocols.

The guide should enable its users to find all the rulings of the Court which may be relevant to a given problem, and reduce considerably the time and effort needed for research. The book has an alphabetical list of the judgements delivered by the Court from its creation in 1960 until the end of October 1998 at the back for easy reference, with a further alphabetical list of the judgements delivered in 1997 and 1998. In addition, a chronological list of the 1997 and 1998 decisions is provided as well as a subject index to the present volume.

This volume covers the last judgements delivered before the entry into force of Protocol No. 11 on 1 November 1998. The four volumes together therefore give access to the whole of the case-law of the Old Court. The text of Protocol No. 11 is included in this supplement.

This weighty volume is an invaluable research tool for students and for practitioners of Strasbourg human rights law.
