The friendly settlement procedure is an important tool for the reduction of the European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) case load. Recent practice demonstrates that this procedure is increasingly resorted to by applicants and Contracting States. Friendly Settlements before the European Court of Human Rights evaluates this largely unexplored instrument from doctrinal as well as practical perspectives, making recommendations to render the negotiations before the ECtHR more efficient and professional. The book examines questions relating to the admissibility as well as to the practical manageability of friendly settlements. In contrast to ordinary civil proceedings, the friendly settlements procedure has a mixed legal character: while settlements are an inter-partes procedure, they are also binding under international law, as the ECtHR often hands them down in the form of a judgment. In this context, the question arises as to how far the proceedings can be 'privatized' and where the limits to the monetization of human rights violation lie. This book evaluates possible abuses and identifies the precautions that need to be taken in the framework of friendly settlements. This issue is linked to the question of whether the legal framework which governs the conclusion of a friendly settlement should be formulated in a more concrete manner, given that the position of the parties is unequal and that the role of the Court is hardly defined in this context. Furthermore, the book empirically examines whether the friendly settlement procedure is as advantageous in comparison to ordinary proceedings as others have argued. It also questions whether the friendly settlements procedure can provide the applicant with 'more money faster'.

The Story Of My Life

Finally restored to its original state, this is the most authoritative paperback version of Helen Keller's classic now available. The story of Helen Keller, who triumphed over deafness and blindness and became 'a symbol of the indomitable human spirit,' is now considered one of the 'hundred most important books of the twentieth century' (New York Public Library). Yet the astonishing original version, first published in 1903, has been out of print for many years. In this, 'the restored classic,' Roger Shattuck, in collaboration with Dorothy Hermann, has reedited the book to reflect its original composition. Keller's remarkable transformation is presented in three successive accounts: Keller's own version; the letters of 'teacher' Anne Sullivan, submerged in the earliest edition; and the valuable documentation by their assistant, John Macy. Including opening and closing commentary by Shattuck and notes by Hermann, this volume has already established itself as the definitive edition of a classic work.

To Love This Life: Quotations from Helen Keller

This uplifting collection of quotes from one of the United States' most influential women is an inspiration -- an acknowledgment of beauty, intelligence, and hope. Helen Keller truly loved this life. "This volume is testimony to the many facets of Helen Keller, but most of all to the legacy of her life. Her abiding concern was to leave the world a better place than she found it, and simply by leaving us her example, she succeeded admirably in that goal." - from the foreword by Former President Jimmy Carter
