1 The present contribution is based on an analysis of the judgments of the Court concerning Art. 3 of the Convention in cases concerning refugees and asylum seekers from 1 July 2009 until 31 Jan. 2012. As such, it is the follow up of a study published by the same author: M. Bossuyt, Strasbourg et les demandeurs d'asile: des juges sur un terrain glissant (Bruylant 2010), 189 p., covering the judgments of the Court until 30 June 2009. A restructured version of excerpts of that book has also been published in English: M.
