Going to Strasbourg: An Oral History of Sexual Orientation Discrimination and the European Convention on Human Rights provides a comprehensive account of how individuals in the United Kingdom have utilized the Convention, by way of making applications to its organs in Strasbourg in order to challenge sexual orientation discrimination. Combining an exhaustive analysis of Strasbourg case law with nineteen unique oral histories of applicants, legal professionals, and campaigners, this book is the definitive history of the role that 'going to Strasbourg' has played in eradicating discrimination and establishing legal equality on the grounds of sexual orientation in the UK.

Certains juges, face au defi de l'interpretation auquel ils sont confrontes particulierement en matiere de droits fondamentaux - integrent du materiau etranger dans leur raisonnement. Cette pratique, souvent appelee « dialogue des juges », a ete abondamment examinee et discutee. On a pu souligner qu'elle presentait des opportunites, mais qu'elle posait egalement de nombreuses questions2. Neanmoins, on en sait peu sur la facon dont le juge prend connaissance du materiau etranger. Du reste, on ne* connait pas bien le role joue par les acteurs presents aupres du juge et leur contribution a la diffusion de concepts et de normes juridiques3. Or, des individus ou des groupements externes se mobilisent et participent aux debats interpretatifs qui se deploient devant le...

But in this special one hour programme, filmed across four continents, Dispatches exposes a well-funded backlash against gay rights, led by a global network of organisations that promote what they believe to be family values.One group, the World Congress of Families – an umbrella organisation of religious conservative groups which has established links in over 80 countries – is based in America, where same-sex marriages have just been made legal in all 50 states. The WCF and their associates (who boast combined...

Indeed, since its founding, Justices have referred to and discussed many foreign judicial decisions. But how has the Constitutional Court’s case law influenced debates before other courts? The approach of this contribution is to look at South African constitutional jurisprudence as a ‘sender’ of information. It scrutinizes some landmark cases of the US Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights on issues similar as those decided by the South African Constitutional Court to see whether the South African precedents were considered. More specifically, the content of the parties’ submissions and the amicus curiae briefs submitted in these landmark cases are analyzed to see whether South African cases are referred to and in what form. The contribution also explores which actors refer to South African cases and to what purpose they cite South African cases. Two t...
