Introduction

Abstract

This book, published on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the T.M.C. Asser Instituut in The Hague, is a compilation of contributions addressing various public and private law perspectives on fundamental rights in international and European law. In this introductory chapter, the editors present the different contributions and their authors. The editors argue that by covering a variety of substantive topics that will not be readily found in other books, and thus by looking over the fence, into areas that one may not be so comfortable with, inspiration and potential solutions for fundamental rights problems may be found.
