Who is a vulnerable person in human rights law?

This important 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.

Reviews for Responsive Human Rights: Vulnerability, Ill-treatment and the ECtHR

I highly recommend this book to all those who are interested in the relationship between vulnerability and the ECHR and Article 3 more generally. It 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 *
