Book Note Heffernan, Liz (ed.), Human Rights. A European Perspective, Dublin: The Round Hall Press (1994) xxxii + 430 pages + Index. $65. This book is the result of a series of some 25 lectures given at the Irish Centre for European Law on aspects of Human Rights. The book covers the developments of Human Rights since World War 11, specially in Europe. The contributors are mainly Irish scholars, but some continental European scholars have contributed as well, such as Prof. H. Schermers ('Freedom of Expression'). Besides the more traditional chapters dedicated to the relevant institutions dealing with Human Rights in Europe, the bulk of the book concentrates on horizontal problems such as, in first place - not surprisingly perhaps - 'The Right to Life and the Abortion Question under the European Convention on Human Rights'. Astonishingly in this otherwise solid book there is no treatment of Protocol No. 17 to the Treaty on European Union, nor of the Declaration adopted by its Contracting Parties on 1 May 1992.
