Author Description

"As a contribution to jurisprudential analysis, Drzemczewski's comments are accurate, informative and disturbing."--Paula R. Newburg in Journal of International Affairs. This is the first investigation of the legal status of the European Human Rights Convention and its influence and authority in domestic courts of all states party to the Convention. Professor Drzemczewski approaches the problem from a comparative law basis, using previously unavailable materials relating to the various parties to the Convention. It is a significant contribution to the continuing debate over domestic incorporation of the Convention.
