Abstract:
Michael Goldhaber introduces American audiences to the judicial arm of the Council of Europe-a group distinct from the European Union, and much larger-whose mission is centered on interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights. In the battle for the world's conscience, Goldhaber shows how the court in Strasbourg may be pulling ahead.
