In 25 years the number of contracting states has doubled and the scope of rights and freedoms guaranteed under the convention has broadened with the adoption of new protocols. At the same time, important demographic changes have taken place. The growing integration of the states of the European Union has created greater mobility for its citizens; and political and economic pressures have given rise to an increasing number of refugees and asylum-seekers from Europe and beyond.--Publisher's description ER -
