This volume explores the role of the ECtHR in protecting marginalised individuals and minorities. What factors and conditions have led growing numbers of such individuals and minorities to pursue their rights and freedoms in front of the ECtHR and how has the latter responded to these? Does the Convention and the jurisprudence of the Strasbourg Court enhance the protection of vulnerable groups at the national level and expand their rights? Or do they mainly tend to fill in relatively minor gaps or occasional lapses in national rights guarantees? Comprising a set of eight country-based case studies, this volume examines litigation on behalf of marginalised individuals and minorities, and the relevant ECtHR jurisprudence across the following countries: Austria, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, France, Italy, Turkey and the UK.

"Overall, this volume offers a landmark analysis of processes and forces that have contributed to shape the mechanisms for human rights protection of minorities and disadvantaged individuals and groups in the interface between national contexts and Europe’s supranational legal system. Moreover, the processes described and explained in this book also shed light more generally on the complex relationships between actors and institutions involved in the working of the European human rights regime, and provide elements to analyze the recent evolution of the ECtHR. A final consideration regards the impressive methodology that sustains the structure of this book. It is, in fact, an excellent example of how a wide collaborative project can result in a cohesive and well-integrated volume. The book is superbly well-edited, and one of its strengths is that the country studies are developed following a consistent methodological layout, which makes this work an extraordinary resource as well as a solid base for further cross-country comparative studies in the European context, as well as for comparison with the role of human rights courts in other regional settings."
