As Europe's state borders are opening up more and more to the flux of people, goods, capital and information, her citizens find themselves in a new legal framework, one which reflects the growing interconnection between the international and the national aspects of modern European society. _______
The Council of Europe, through its comprehensive network of international treaties - European conventions - has sought to provide an appropriate response to these changes. This volume brings together the Council's conventions concerned with public international law, the movement of people and refugees, nationality and administrative law, as well as rapidly evolving fields such as data protection.
Whether promoting co-operation in practical matters, seeking to refine and update legislation in existing areas, or evolving responses to new developments in society, these texts help to shape the legal framework within which Europeans live. _______
This new, handy pocket-format edition - the third in a series presenting the Council's conventions grouped by theme - includes an up-to-date chart of signatures and ratifications.
