Jeremy McBride (Barrister at Monckton Chambers,
London, specialising in cases before the ECHR
and the UNHRC) has published the book entitled Compendium of case law of the European Court of Human Rights on the death penalty and extrajudicial execution, with Council of Europe (2022). Below is a brief summary of the book:
‘The compendium’s aim is to assist national judges, prosecutors
and lawyers from the 46 member states of the Council of Europe to
deal with extradition or deportation cases when there is a risk of
the death penalty being imposed in third countries or of
extrajudicial execution. It also aims at enabling legal professionals
from countries where the death penalty still exists to develop arguments
based upon the reasoning of the case law of the European Court of
Human Rights. It contains relevant extracts from the Court’s case
law, structured in a user-friendly way.’
