This book, Council of Europe law, provides a clear and carefully considered picture of the means which the Council of Europe uses in pursuing its aim of bringing the democratic states of Europe together around a community of values, and particularly a community of law. It is the first comprehensive study of Council of Europe law, as it has developed from 1949, when the
Organisation was founded, up to the present. Subjects covered include the foundations of the Council’s work, the instruments it uses to harmonise the law of its forty-six member States and its role in helping to build a common European legal area.
