Description
Bloomsbury Publishing (UK) Lethal Force the Right to Life and the ECHR: Narratives of Death and Democracy by Dr Stephen Skinner
This book discusses the connection between the right to life in Article 2 of the ECHR and democratic society.It focusing on the domestic policing and law enforcement context the book draws on an extensive analysis of case law from 1995 to 201. It shows how the connection with democratic society in Article 2’s substantive and procedural dimensions underlines the right to life’s problematic duality as an expression of a basic value demanding a high level of protection and a contextually limited provision allowing states leeway in the use of force.
