Domestic judicial treatment of European Court of Human Rights case law : beyond compliance / David Kosař, Jan Petrov, Katarína Šipulová, Hubert Smekal, Ladislav Vyhnánek, Jozef Janovský. - 1 online resource. - Routledge research in human rights law .
Introduction -- Architecture of the Strasbourg System of Human Rights -- The Role of Domestic Courts in the Strasbourg System -- Navigating the Field of Judicial Compliance, Effectiveness, Implementation and Judicial Treatment of International Law -- Research Design -- How to Study Judicial Implementation : A Prologue to the Case Study on Czechia -- The Supreme Court : The Story of a (Post)communist Cinderella -- The Supreme Administrative Court : A New Kid on the Block -- The Czech Constitutional Court -- Judicial Treatment Patterns : More Complicated than They Seem -- Beyond Judicial Compliance : Domestic Courts in the ECHR Regime.
"The European Court of Human Rights ("ECtHR") suffers from the burgeoning caseload and challenges to its authority. This two-pronged crisis undermines the ECtHR's legitimacy and consequently the functioning of the whole European human rights regime. Domestic courts can serve as welcome allies of the Strasbourg Court. They have a potential to diffuse Convention norms domestically, and therefore prevent and filter many potential human rights violations. Yet, we know very little about how in fact domestic courts actually treat the Strasbourg Court's rulings. This book brings unique empirical findings on how often, how and with what consequences domestic judges work with the ECtHR's case law. It moves beyond the narrow concept of compliance and develops a new three-level methodology for analysing the role played by domestic courts in the implementation of ECtHR case law. Moreover, using the example of Czechia, it shifts the attention from Western countries to a more volatile Central and Eastern European region, which has recently witnessed democratic backsliding and backlash against international checks on human rights and the rule of law standards. Looking at a wider social and legal context, this book identifies factors helping transitional countries to adapt to regional human rights regimes"--
