Present book addresses the concepts policies programmes legislative measures and
institutions constituting the Area of Freedom Security and Justice - with emphasis on the
protection of civil liberties namely fundamental rights and liberal democratic values against
the background of Human Rights.To work on this multi-layered dichotomy - liberty and security
or vice versa - has been the idea when conceptualising the project ERUPT (European Rights and
Union Protection Tools) as a Jean Monnet Module under the ERASMUS+ programme of the EU.
