Contemporary Issues of Human Rights Protection in International and National Settings

AkadR Dr. Stefan Lorenzmeier LL.M.; Ass.-Prof. Dr. Vasilka Sancin

doi:10.5771/9783845262284

Summary

Der englischsprachige Sammelband beleuchtet die Auswirkungen internationaler Menschenrechte auf den nationalen und europäische Rechtsordnung aus mehreren Perspektiven. Neben den Auswirkungen des Gutachtens 2/13 des EuGH auf das Verhältnis der EU zur EMRK werden auch die Auswirkungen der Menschenrechtskonvention auf die Rechtsordnungen von Nachbarstaaten wie Norwegen und der Türkei analysiert. Ebenfalls wird eine Bestandsaufnahme der menschenrechtlichen Vorschriften des Assoziierungsabkommens der Europäischen Union mit der Ukraine und deren Auswirkungen auf die interne ukrainische Rechtsordnung vorgenommen. Daneben gestellt werden rechtsvergleichend Analysen der Rechtssysteme größerer und kleinerer Mitgliedstaaten der EU wie Deutschland, Polen, Portugal und Slowenien.
