The application of the European Convention on Human Rights to military operations

The European Convention on Human Rights is being applied to military operations of every kind from internal operations in Russia and Turkey, to international armed conflicts in Iraq, Ukraine and elsewhere. This book exposes the challenge that this development presents to the integrity and universality of Convention rights. Can states realistically investigate all instances where life is lost during military operations? Can the Convention offer the same level of protection to soldiers in combat as it does to its citizens at home? How can we reconcile the application of the Convention with other international law applicable to military operations? This book offers detailed analysis of how the Convention applies to military operations of all kinds. It highlights the creeping relativism of the standards applied by the European Court of Human Rights to military operations and offers guidance on how to interpret and apply the Convention to military operations. 01.0_pp_i_ii_The_Application_of_the_European_Convention_on_Human_Rights_to_Military_Operations 02.0_pp_iii_iii_The_Application_of_the_European_Convention_on_Human_Rights_to_Military_Operations 03.0_pp_iv_iv_Copyright_page 04.0_pp_v_vi_Dedication 05.0_pp_vii_ix_Contents 06.0_pp_x_xii_Acknowledgements 07.0_pp_xiii_xiii_Abbreviations 08.0_pp_xiv_xxiv_Table_of_Cases 09.0_pp_xxv_xxvi_Table_of_International_Agreements 10.0_pp_1_20_Introduction 11.0_pp_21_42_Jurisdiction_over_Domestic_Military_Operations 12.0_pp_43_72_Jurisdiction_over_Extra-Territorial_Military_Operations 13.0_pp_73_109_Article_2_Substantive_Obligations 14.0_pp_110_140_Article_2_Procedural_Obligations 15.0_pp_141_165_Norm_Conflict 16.0_pp_166_191_Article_7 17.0_pp_192_213_Derogation 18.0_pp_214_220_Conclusion 19.0_pp_221_238_Bibliography 20.0_pp_239_250_Index
