Corina Heri (Univ. of Zurich) has published
Responsive Human Rights: Vulnerability, Ill-treatment and the ECtHR (Hart Publishing 2021). Here's the abstract:
Who is a vulnerable person in human rights law?
This important book assesses the treatment of vulnerability by the European Court of Human Rights, an area that has been surprisingly under explored by European human rights law to date. It explores legal-philosophical understandings of the topic, providing a theoretical framework that can be used when examining the question. Not confining itself to the abstract, however, it provides a bridge from the theoretical to the practical by undertaking a comprehensive examination of the Court's approach under art. 3 ECHR. It also pays particular attention to the concept of human dignity.
