Through gaining lessons from the doctrine of constitutionality control the book deals
principally with conventionality control achieved by judicial adjudicators. This monograph
fills the gap in comparative international human rights law by analysing the practice of
conventionality control in Europe and Latin America. Based on the empirical data the author
normatively envisions a 'trapezium' model of conventionality control with the features of
openness substantivism and human-centrism which overcomes the limits of the closed formalist
and State-centric 'pyramid' model. Author: Yota Negishi Associate Professor of Public
International Law Seinan Gakuin University Fukuoka Japan.
