In 1953 the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights
and Fundamental Freedoms came into force. It was born of the shared
conviction that breaches of the most elementary human rights, such
as had been experienced in the 1930s and 40s, should never be
allowed to occur again. The Convention and the control bodies
responsible for ensuring the observance of the engagements
undertaken by the contracting States have had a profound influence
on democratic European society in the latter half of this century,
and have had repercussions outside Europe too; indeed the European
system of human rights protection has served as a model or basic
reference text for other regional systems. "The European System for
the Protection of Human Rights" is a collection of essays by
scholars and practitioners in the field of European Human Rights.
Its aim is not only to sum up 40 years of European experience in
the collective endeavour to protect human rights, but to stimulate
critical thinking about that experience and to review whether the
Convention system as it stands is still fitted to meet the needs of
European society in the coming millennium.
