"Individual rights under EU law must be effectively enforceable against EU Member States. Philipp Tamme examines the extent to which the European Court of Human Rights can contribute to this. Based on the cases so far decided in Strassburg, the causes of legal deficiencies at national and European level are analyzed and the formal and material conditions for a successful sanctioning of EU law violations under Convention law are identified. On the basis of general principles, the details of the enforcement of procedural rights, EU directives, rights of free access and political rights will be dealt with. HIeran pick up further proposals that aim at a rule of law-oriented optimization of individual rights protection in the European multi-level network."--From Google translation, as viewed on May 23, 2018.
