Article on judicial independence & ECHR

Very pleased to have contributed with a chapter on how Europe’s fast growing number of politicized judges and prosecutors affect fair trial rights to Stephanie Schiedermair, Alexander Schwarz and Dominik Steiger's fantastic book on Theory and Practice of the European Convention on Human Rights! My chapter provides a concise and contextual study of how judges and prosecutors undermine human rights standards in a relevant sample of European countries, particularly with regard to Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (the right to a fair trial; forthcoming 2021).
