Abstract
This book provides a comparative analysis of the exclusion of improperly obtained evidence across a number of legal systems, criss-crossing jurisdictional boundaries in a lively and engaging manner. Giannoulopoulos’s objective is stated clearly from the outset. In the Preface, he invites courts and legislatures within the Anglo-American and Continental legal systems to review, in the light of his comparative analysis and normative conclusions, their national solutions to problems associated with the exclusion of improperly obtained evidence. Importantly, they are further encouraged to ensure that rights considerations are given due weight. The obvious vehicle for the proposed “reinvigoration of the rights thesis” in Europe is the European Court of Human Rights and an important part of the book is concerned with assessing the court’s role in building a rights-based consensus.
