Human Rights in the Council of Europe and the European Union
Confusion about the differences between the Council of Europe and the European Union is commonplace. It even affects some lawyers, jurists and social scientists. This book will enable the reader to distinguish clearly between those human rights norms which originate in the Council of Europe and those which derive from the EU.

Despite recent constitutional arrangements, human rights remain an ambiguous and complex subject in the European Union. Human rights issues may have become increasingly relevant to the life of the EU over the past thirty years but there has been an institutional reluctance to mould a unified human rights policy worthy of the name.
