Abstract

Abstract Chapter 4 suggested two approaches to the possible application of the Convention in the private sphere. The first was that the method of interpretation of the European Court of Human Rights was forward looking and contextual, rather than backward-looking and positivist, and therefore it had to take into account current trends in international and constitutional law which suggest that individuals have to be protected from acts which violate human rights, even when the actors are private bodies. Furthermore, an ‘effective’ implementation of the Convention means that the changing social context within which it operates has to be considered.
