The exceptionality of America's Supreme Court has long been
conventional wisdom. But the U.S. Supreme Court is no longer the
only one changing the landscape of public rights and values. Over
the past thirty years, the European Court of Human Rights has
developed an ambitious, American-style body of law. Unheralded by
the mass press, this obscure tribunal in Strasbourg, France, has
become, in many ways, the Supreme Court of Europe. Michael D.
Goldhaber introduces American audiences to the judicial arm of the
Council of Europe - a group distinct from the European Union, and
much larger - whose mission is centered on interpreting the
European Convention on Human Rights. The council routinely
confronts nations over their most culturally sensitive, hot-button
issues. It has stared down France on the issue of Muslim
immigration, Ireland on abortion, Greece on Greek Orthodoxy, Turkey
on Kurdish separatism, Austria on Nazism, and Britain on gay rights
and corporal punishment. And what is most extraordinary is that
nations commonly comply. In the battle for the world's conscience,
Goldhaber shows how the court in Strasbourg may be pulling ahead.
