Human Rights

One of the most remarkable characteristics of the European Court of Human Rights and its highly acclaimed judicial tribunal in Strasbourg is the extensive obligations of contracting states to give effect to its judgments.

This text relates how marginalized individuals, civil society, and minority actors strategically take recourse in the Strasbourg court for the purpose of challenging state laws, policies, and practices. Scholarly literature has so far failed to investigate thoroughly these bottom-up dynamics and their influence on the domestic implementation of human rights.
