Reflection on the book domestic judicial treatment of European Court of Human Rights case law: Beyond compliance

Abstract

This article acknowledges the contribution of the book Domestic Judicial Treatment of the European Court of Human Rights Case Law: Beyond Compliance (KOSAŘ, D. et al. Routledge, 2020), especially when read as a case study of the use of the European Court of Human Rights' case law by Czech apex courts.

It points out, however, that the authors do not fully explain its contribution to current knowledge. The article also draws attention to some of the book's findings, which would benefit from more elaborate argumentation and more convincing linkages between the data and the conclusions drawn from them.
