Description: This book examines the concerns for the EU's legal system in relation to accession and questions whether and how accession and the system of human rights protection under the Convention can be effectively reconciled with the autonomy of EU law.
Review Quotes:
"...the author deserves congratulations for his book not only because of its timeliness but also because of its rigorous analysis of all the critical legal issues associated with the EU's accession to the ECHR. The book will prove to be most valuable for everyone trying to understand the background to the accession agreement, in particular why the mechanisms agreed upon are so complex and do not always appear straightforward. Hence this book provides an indispensible source for any researcher on EU-ECHR relations." --Yearbook of European Law, Volume 32, No. 1
