Résumé
2018 has been another challenging year for human rights in Europe and
globally. International human rights standards, the rule of law and
international human rights institutions have come under increasing
pressure. The eleventh volume of the European Yearbook on Human Rights
discusses the backgrounds of these developments and outlines the
potential implications and possible solutions. The backsliding of
democracy in Poland and Hungary, the human rights fallout from Brexit
and the human rights situations in Chechnya and the Ukraine are
mentioned as just a few examples. The Yearbook also includes
contributions on all-time classics such as the right to freedom of
expression or fair trial and tensions between security and the
protection of human rights, as well as more recent developments on the
rights of persons with disabilities and the rights of children to be
heard in political processes.
The European Yearbook on Human
Rights brings together renowned scholars, emerging voices and
practitioners. Split into parts devoted to recent developments in the
European Union, the Council of Europe and the OSCE as well as through
reports from the field, the contributions engage with some of the most
important human rights issues and developments in Europe. The Yearbook
helps to better understand the rich landscape of the European regional
human rights system and is intended to stimulate discussions, critical
thinking and further research in this field.
