Pedro Madeira de Brito co-authors the ‘Commentary on the European Convention on Human Rights and Additional Protocols’

BAS > Communication > News > Pedro Madeira de Brito co-authors the ‘Commentary on the European Convention on Human Rights and Additional Protocols’

The work follows on from the Congress on the European Convention on Human Rights held in June 2019, and the first two volumes of the work were published on the 22nd of November.

The Commentary on the European Convention on Human Rights and the Additional Protocols gathers, in three volumes, the contributions of 142 Authors, including 17 Professors, 38 Associate Professors, 72 Assistant Professors and 26 Counsellors or former Counsellors of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court of Justice, the Supreme Administrative Court and the Court of Auditors. The research is complemented by a list of national and international legislation cited in the work with 35 pages, a list of national and international jurisprudence cited in the work with 109 pages and a thematic list with 29 pages. These lists reveal a comprehensive study of ‘living’ international law, as produced by the Strasbourg Court and many other European and global institutions. On the other hand, the essential teachings of constitutional law, as forged by the most prolix Constitutional Courts and Supreme Courts in the world, with deserved emphasis on the jurisprudence of the Portuguese Constitutional Court, have not been forgotten.

The work is coordinated by Paulo Pinto de Albuquerque, judge at the European Court of Human Rights and professor at the Catholic University of Lisbon. Pedro Madeira de Brito‘s collaboration focuses on ‘The Portuguese civil declaratory process in the light of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights’.

The publishing of the third volume is scheduled for early 2020.
