Theory and Practice of the European Convention on Human Rights
This collection explores current, critical issues regarding human rights theory and practice at the European Court of Human Rights. Taking a three part approach, it explores: procedural concerns, principles and jurisprudence, and interaction with national legal systems. With each contributor bringing their own unique perspective and expertise to key human questions of the day, it makes compelling reading for all human rights specialists, be they …
The State of the International Human Rights System—Normativity and Compliance: Introduction
This introduction presents a special issue of the Journal of Human Rights Practice on the state of the international human rights system. It places the challenges and shortcomings of the 2020 Human Rights Treaty Body Review in the context of the broader discussion on human rights normativity and compliance. The unwillingness of member states to fulfil their budgetary commitments, as well as the ignorance with which some reform proposals were met,…
Enhancing Compliance and Fostering Normativity by Institutionalizing Dialogue—The Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention Against Torture: A Comment
The Optional Protocol to the United Nations Convention Against Torture (OPCAT) differs from other human rights treaties, especially because it follows a new approach by establishing a system of on-site visits as well as a dual supervisory mechanism, which consists of an international committee—the Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture—and the National Prevention Mechanisms. The aim of this comment is to analyse these particularities in the light …

Foreign assignments of German soldiers do not only pose questions with regard to constitutional law but might also have legal bearings on criminal law. When soldiers cause death of enemy combatants or civilians the question of individual criminal responsibility of the …
Akteure in Krieg und Frieden: Akteure in Krieg und Frieden
»Akteure in Krieg und Frieden« ist aus dem gleichnamigen Workshop des Arbeitskreises junger Völkerrechtler im Herbst 2009 hervorgegangen. Das Rahmenthema lenkt den Blick der völkerrechtlichen Untersuchungen auf Akteure, deren Rechte und Pflichten - im Gegensatz zu denen des Staates als dem klassischen Völkerrechtssubjekt - schwer erfassbar sind. Diese Akteure treten neben dem Staat in Konflikten auf und nehmen in Friedenszeiten an internationalen…
