This book provides the first comprehensive account of the role
played by the European Convention on Human Rights during the
conflict in Northern Ireland from 1968. Brice Dickson studies the
effectiveness of the Convention in protecting human rights in a
society wracked by terrorism and deep political conflict, detailing
the numerous applications lodged at Strasbourg relating to the
conflict and considering how they were dealt with by the
enforcement bodies. The book illustrates the limitations inherent
in the Convention system but also demonstrates how the European
Commission and Court of Human Rights gradually developed a more
interventionist approach to the applications emanating from
Northern Ireland. In turn this allowed the Convention to become a
more secure guarantor of basic rights and freedoms during times of
extreme civil unrest and political turmoil elsewhere in Europe. The
topics examined include the right to life, the right not to be
ill-treated, the right to liberty, the right to a fair trial, the
right to a private life, the right to freedom of belief, the right
to freedom of expression, the right to freedom of assembly, and the
right not to be discriminated against. The book argues that, while
eventually the European Court did use the applications from
Northern Ireland to establish important human rights principles,
their development was slow and arduous and some gaps in protection
still remain. The book illustrates the limits of the European
Convention as a tool for protecting human rights in times of
crisis.
