5th Edition of Harris, O'Boyle and Warbrick Published

The fifth edition of the seminal text on the European Convention on Human Rights – Harris, O’Boyle and Warbrick, Law of the European Convention on Human Rights – has been published by OUP. The new edition provides a fully updated, rigorous and comprehensive analysis of the work of the European Court of Human Rights and the rights protected by the ECHR. It is co-authored by former-Human Rights Law Centre co-director and founder, Emeritus Professor David Harris, Mr Michael O’Boyle (former Deputy Registrar of the European Court of Human Rights), Dr Ed Bates (University of Leicester) and Ms Carla M Buckley (International Human Rights Lawyer).

The first edition of the book was co-authored by Professor Harris, Mr O’Boyle and Professor Colin Warbrick and published in 1995. It quickly gained recognition as the authoritative text in the area. This new fifth edition – published 28 years later - confirms the Human Rights Law Centre’s commitment to promoting respect for the rule of law in Europe.

The Human Rights Law Centre will be hosting a book launch in June 2023 and further details will be published soon.
