Facebook reminds me that, in February 2018, I gave a #conference entitled "The European Map of Justice and the HELP Programme of the Council of Europe" at the Ferrol Bar Association (Spain). A two-part session: 1/ Explanation of the #EuropeanCourtofHumanRights linked to the #CouncilofEurope and the #CourtOfJustice of the #EuropeanUnion. 2/ Presentation of the European Programme for Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (#HELPProgramme) of the Council of Europe. - The Spanish courses available at the time. - How to register on the platform: https://lnkd.in/dBrpnHDU - Link to the main webpage: https://lnkd.in/dSdWTsdY I remember a lively debate on the importance and influence of these European courts on the domestic judicial system and a pleasant surprise about the Council of Europe's educational programme for legal professionals. #EuropeaConvencida 😊 💪 😁 #Europe

In our collaboration with Justice Professor Joel Ngugi of the Kenya Court of Appeal, we're learning that dispute resolution, despite varied global practices, fundamentally shares core principles universally. From New York to Nairobi, the goal remains to reach mutual agreements, often through mediation or arbitration, guided by legal frameworks tailored to each culture's nuances. For example, Asian cultures might emphasize harmony and face-saving, while Western approaches may focus more on direct negotiations. The rise of Online Dispute Resolution, about which we are learning more, transcends borders, offering a digital platform for efficient conflict resolution. This evolution reflects a universal push for inclusivity and accessibility in justice. Whether it's adapting to societal changes like digital rights or training programs for effective dispute resolution, the essence remains consistent globally. Organizations like the International Court of Justice exemplify this on a macro scale. At the heart, whether in Kenya or elsewhere, effective communication and understanding each party's perspective are key, underscoring a universal human desire for fairness and harmony.
