Gaëtan Cliquennois (University of Rennes) has just published a new monograph entitled ‘The Impact of European Human Rights Bodies on Penal Policies‘. The book provides an analysis of the impact of the Council of Europe, the European Court of Human Rights and the Court of Justice of the European Union on national penal and detention policies. This is the abstract:
‘A new framework for penal and prison policies in Europe has been progressively established by the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the Council of Europe (CoE) and the European Union (EU) to protect the human rights of detainees in Europe. European countries have reacted in very diverse ways to this influence. This book looks at the evolving content of case law and European Standards and their effects through a range of national reactions, processes and policies in different European countries.’
