Immunities and the Right of Access to Court Under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (International Studies in Human Rights, 103)

Combining immunities under public international law and privileges afforded to certain bodies and persons by domestic law, this book discusses the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights on the conflict between immunities and Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. "The conflict between immunities and the right of access to court under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights remains one of the most interesting problems in the current Strasbourg jurisprudence. The European Court of Human Rights had to rule repeatedly on interferences with the right of access by State immunity or the immunity of international organisations. It is here that human rights law and public international law are directly conflicting with each other. Domestic immunities of Members of Parliament, judges, the police or the social services have likewise conflicted with the Convention. This book is the first comprehensive work which comprises all kinds of immunities and which discusses the entire case-law of the European Court of Human Rights on the matter."--Jacket The conflict between immunities and the right of access to court under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights remains one of the most interesting problems in the current Strasbourg jurisprudence.
