Summary:

The purpose of this book is to explore the ways in which domestic courts are dealing with international human rights issues in their respective jurisdictions. This volume, however, is not limited to offering a comparative overview. It aims principally at identifying the most common obstacles that still hinder the effective adjudication and enforcement of human rights in domestic law. Ultimately, it aspires to suggest judicial models that may help reduce or remove those obstacles, consistently with the principle, recognised in modern constitutions, that national courts are bound to participate in the implementation process of international law.
