The Council of Europe, of which all European States are members, plays a pivotal role in the promotion and protection of human rights, democracy, and the rule of law in Europe. Bringing together specialist scholars and practitioners, The Council of Europe: Its Laws and Policies offers profound insights into the functioning of the organization. The organization''s primary and secondary law, its institutional structure, and its far-reaching fields of activities are comprehensively and systematically analysed. This volume investigates the impact of the Council''s activities within the national legal systems of the Member States and the dense web of relationships between the Council of Europe and other international organisations. An important reference work on one of the most influential organizations in Europe, the book concludes that the Council of Europe has played a considerable role in the constitutionalization process of regional public international law.

The book analyses the position of the ECtHR which has been more and more confronted with criticism coming from the national sphere, including the judiciary. This culminated in constitutional court judgments declaring a particular ECtHR judgment non-executable, for reasons of constitutional law. Existing scholarship does not differentiate enough between cases of mere political unwillingness to execute an ECtHR judgment and cases where execution is blocked for legal reasons (mainly of constitutional law nature). At the same time, the discussion under EU law on national/constitutional identity limiting the reach of the former has been only loosely linked with the ECHR context. This book presents a new dogmatic concept  - 'principled resistance' - to analyse such cases. Taking up examples from the national level, it strives to find out whether the legal reasoning behind 'principled resistance' shows enough commonalities in order to qualify such incidents as expression of a 'new paradigm'.

Das Völkerrecht unterscheidet sich vom (inner-) staatlichen Recht nicht nur durch seine anders gearteten Akteure und Strukturen, auch die dieses Rechtsgebiet prägenden Begriffe weisen eine Vielzahl von Besonderheiten auf. Der vorliegende Band verfolgt vor allem den Zweck, das nötige Verständnis für dieses ebenso komplexe wie spannende Rechtsgebiet zu vermitteln.Die Grundbegriffe des Völkerrechts ermöglichen dem Leser die planmäßige Erschließung des internationalen öffentlichen Rechts anhand der insgesamt 121 in alphabetischer Reihenfolge erläuterten zentralen Begriffe und Themen, die zudem durch Verweise miteinander verknüpft sind. Vorangestellt sind jeder Begriffserklärung eine Gliederung und eine bewusst knapp gehaltene Literaturübersicht, die sowohl das schnelle Auffinden bestimmter Informationen in den Erläuterungen als auch die gezielte Hinzuziehung ausgewählter Spezialliteratur erleichtern. Auf diese Weise werden die wesentlichen Inhalte des Völkerrechts für den Leser systematisch aufbereitet und an den wichtigsten Stellen vertiefend dargestellt.

Die Frage nach der Staatshaftung für judikatives Unrecht betrifft eine besonders komplexe Thematik. Einerseits besteht offenkundig die Gefahr, durch Zulassung der Haftung des Staates (nicht des Richters als Individuum) für behauptete richterliche Fehlentscheidungen den regulären Instanzenzug zu unterlaufen und einen "regressus ad infinitum" zu eröffnen. Andererseits sehen sowohl die deutsche als auch die meisten europäischen Rechtsordnungen in gewissen Fallkonstellationen eine Haftung für judikatives Unrecht vor. Erforderlich ist daher ein dogmatisches Modell, das Grund und Grenzen der Staatshaftung für judikatives Unrecht zu bestimmen vermag. Marten Breuer entwirft dieses Modell zunächst für die deutsche Rechtsordnung und untersucht anschließend dessen Übertragbarkeit auf das Europa- und Völkerrecht. Hierdurch erfährt die Thematik erstmals eine rechtsordnungsübergreifenden Analyse.
