CALL FOR PAPERS: The Rule of Law, Multi-layered Human Rights Protection and Constitutional Resilience: The ECHR at 75 and the Venice Commission at 35
In 2025, we celebrate two anniversaries, the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the 35th anniversary of the Venice Commission. These significant milestones will be commemorated by two events over the course of two days, organized by the Centre for European Law and Internationalisation (CELI, Leicester Law School) and the Bingham Centre for the Rule of Law, on 6-7 November 2025, at the premises of the British Institute of International and Comparative Law (BIICL), Russell Square, London.
Call for Papers
We invite submissions of abstracts for papers that explore the theme of constitutional resilience through a multi-layered protection of human rights for Day Two of the conference. The particular focus of the two-day event is on building constitutional resilience in the UK and European contexts, and the role of the ECHR and the Human Rights Act. However, contributions may also embark on analyses of how the rule of law, a multilayered human rights protection and human rights values fortify constitutional resilience more broadly, in other contexts, whether within the internal arrangements of a state or at the national/international level.
Please send your abstracts of no more than 300 words to [email protected] by 4 June 2025. Please include the title, author(s), and affiliations and a brief cv/bio statement.
