Responsive Human Rights by Corina Heri

This open access book assesses the treatment of vulnerability by the European Court of Human Rights, an area that has been surprisingly under-explored by European human rights law to date. It explores legal-philosophical understandings of the topic, providing a theoretical framework that can be used when examining the question. Not confining itself to the abstract, however, it provides a bridge from the theoretical to the practical by undertaking a comprehensive examination of the Court’s approach under art. 3 ECHR. It also pays particular attention to the concept of human dignity.

Well written and compellingly argued, this is an important new book for all scholars of European human rights.

I highly recommend this book to all those who are interested in the relationship between vulnerability and the ECHR and Article 3 more generallyIt will be an invaluable point of reference and it offers new conceptual grounds through which to advance Article 3. -- Luke D. Graham, University of Manchester * Law & Justice - The Christian Law Review *
Heri’s Responsive Human Rights serves as a rich resource on human vulnerability, human dignity, and ill-treatment under Article 3 of the ECHR, a thorough and layered critical review of the ECtHR’s interpretive navigation of these concepts, and a commanding invitation to (re)think and (re)imagine (our) universal and particular experiences of vulnerability and its human rights implications in meaningfully egalitarian terms. -- Natasa Mavronicola * Common Market Law Review *
Corina Heri is a post-doctoral researcher at the Amsterdam Centre for International Law at the University of Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
