This collective volume illuminates in a unique way the multifaceted and dynamic relationship between the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the entirety of the national and international legal order. Based on the highly successful conference organized by the Law School of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens and the MFHR, this book highlights the historical and philosophical origins of the ECHR and reflects the osmosis of the Convention with every aspect of law: from civil law, civil procedure, and labor law to criminal law, criminal procedure and penitentiary law. And from constitutional law to administrative law, administrative procedure, fiscal law, ecclesiastical law, and environmental law. At the same time, this volume highlights the critical links with EU and international law, offering a tool of high theoretical and practical value for lawyers, academics, and judges. With scientific completeness and institutional depth, this collective volume demonstrates that the ECHR is not a simple international convention, but a living organism that permeates the core of state sovereignty, directly influencing legal and judicial practice.

 A reference work for those seeking substance, documentation and contemporary legal thought.
