The ECHR as a Living Instrument: Criticisms Reviewed

This book is a little contribution to the ECHR jurisprudence which will make an endeavour to review the common criticisms affiliated with the ECtHRs use of "living instrument" in context of the ECHR rights. The most part of it will mainly carry out an in-depth study to find out the practical necessity of a doctrine like "living instrument" for the smooth progression of human rights standards within the Council of Europe. This book demonstrates that the application of "living instrument" doctrine is in fact a necessary and unavoidable apparatus for the ECtHR to offer effective remedies, to fulfill the demands of the contemporary society, and for the progression of human rights standards.
