This title was first published in 2001. The case of Lawless v
Ireland is a landmark in the development of human rights
jurisprudence. Stemming from the introduction of detention without
trial by the Irish government in response to the resurgence of
political violence, much of the material relevant to the case
brought before the European Court of Human Rights, has remained
closed to public scrutiny. This book is the first to provide a
detailed documentary of the case, assessing the adequacy of the
investigatory processes provided under the European Convention and
questioning whether the factual conclusions reached by the European
Commission on Human Rights were correct. In what will be an
essential reference for academics and students of human rights, the
book raises doubts as to whether the Strasbourg institutions,
established to rectify national breaches of human rights, might in
fact have perpetrated an international miscarriage of justice.
