New Blog on the European Convention on Human Rights
Dr. Antoine Buyse of the Netherlands Institute of Human Rights (SIM), Utrecht University, has started a new blog on the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

Posts are on topics as diverse as the use of separate opinions by the European Court of Human Rights, a review of a case on whether envrionment-friendly wind turbines are a nuisance (thus showing potentially novel conflict between human rights law and environmental policy), recent cases concerning disappearances in Chechnya, and the implementation of judgments.

This looks like it will be a great resource for anyone interested in human rights, international courts, and/or comparative law.

Welcome to the blogosphere!
