Book Synopsis
This book provides a detailed critical analysis of the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights on domestic abuse. Such abuse affects vast numbers of people throughout all nations of the world. Although it was not until 2007 that domestic abuse was considered substantively by the European Court of Human Rights, it has now been established that such abuse can constitute a violation of the right to life under Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights; the right to be free from torture or inhuman or degrading treatment under Article 3; the right to respect for private and family life under Article 8; and the prohibition of discrimination under Article 14.
