Harris, O'Boyle, and Warbrick's seminal textbook Law of the European Convention on Human Rights, is an indispensable resource for undergraduates, postgraduates, and practitioners alike.

The third edition builds on the strengths of previous editions, providing an up-to-date and comprehensive account of Strasbourg case law and its underlying principles. It sets out and critically analyses each Convention article, and examines the system of supervision. With its detailed exploration of the extent of the Convention's influence upon the legal development of the contracting states, the book reveals exactly how such a powerful authority has been achieved and maintained.
