Loucaides had a history of separate opinions, decades of disagreements with the Court's judgments made on the basis of moral convictions and a strong commitment to human rights. Working from the principle that opposing opinions offer as much insight into the law as what the majority had to say, this collection of dissenting and concurring opinions coves a wide range of issues, including human rights and international law, non-qualified right, the right to liberty and security, the notion of the fair trial, private and family life, freedom of expression, non-discrimination, and a range of other issues. Loucaides retained the right to partially dissent and partially concur in his opinions, meaning that he cared more about the issues than he did about being either a member of the team or politically correct. Includes several essays on the judge's integrity and independence. Martinus Nijhoff is an imprint of Brill.
