Human rights are brought to life by a number of defining principles.

Contents include Ensuring Legality: is it an interference in accordance with the law?; Proportionality and the doctrine of the margin of appreciation; Positive obligations: pro-actively protecting rights; Consequences for horizontal application of rights; Identifying a civil right; and What is -Necessary in a Democratic Society-.
