Call for Participants- Writing and Publishing in the Law of the ECHR: A Workshop for Early Career Researchers | 26 February 2024 | Academy for European Human Rights Protection, University of Cologne (in hybrid format)
Background
The work and relevance of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) are increasingly being debated among scholars and practitioners. Discussions about the potential (and limits) of the Convention system, the reform of the Court and (more recently, in particular) the Council of Europe, supervision and implementation of judgments – among others – have received significant scholarly attention. The Reykjavik Declaration, following Russia’s expulsion from the organisation, could mark a new chapter in the development of the Council of Europe (although obviously much depends on what kind of follow-up action will be pursued).
How to participate in the workshop
If you are interested in participating in this workshop, please send your application at [email protected] by 15 December 2023 and include the following information:
