The ECtHR remains a crucial entity in fortifying Europe’s commitment to human rights and the rule of law. Its judgments not only impact individuals and states but also serve as a constant remind of the universal values we must uphold. I am looking forward to attending this event. #HumanRights# #RuleOfLaw# #Europe# #Justice# #LegalFramework# #Justice#

The importance of access to information cannot be overstated which is reflected in my piece from last Sundays edition. As an after thought, during my tenure as lecturer for International Protection of Human Rights while examining the challenges to human rights I would always emphasize on how cultural relativism remained the deepest challenge. However, as of late my beliefs have been tilting towards acknowledging that populism is by far the greatest of challenges. This tilt is fed by the continous actions and inactions of the government to restrict freedom of expression and right to information on sheer whims of establishment friendly agendas. https://lnkd.in/exUXibqi

📚 Recently published: 'Convention Constitutionalism' 🔍 About the book: The European Court of Human Rights has been criticized for unduly interfering in democratic decision processes. Some argue that the unelected Strasbourg activists in robes should not interfere with democratic policy decisions that were made nationally. This inaugural lecture analyses this practice of rights-based judicial review by the Strasbourg Court. The first part presents a general legal-philosophical background. The second part employs this conceptual toolbox to describe and analyse judicial review as exercised by the Strasbourg Court. The third part provides a normative discussion of the Strasbourg Court in the context of the emerging European constitutional landscape. 💡 Important insights: - Judicial review as exercised by the Strasbourg Court is best understood as a weakened form of strong judicial review. - The European Convention on Human Rights is first and foremost a collaboration of Party States that pursue congruent constitutional-democratic projects. 📚 Get your copy: https://lnkd.in/g9TK2eSM This book is part of the Maastricht Law Series: https://lnkd.in/gV4dUudw 🗣️ Start the conversation: Should the European Court Exercise Weak or Strong Judicial Review?

🌟 New Research Alert 🌟 How does the European Court of Human Rights balance individual rights against the will of the majority? 💡 In his new paper in the Asian Yearbook of Human Rights and Humanitarian Law, our postdoctoral researcher Ignatius Yordan Nugraha examines how the Court handles challenging human rights cases when public opinion and individual rights clash. He investigates the Court's reliance on "European consensus"—an agreement among European states—when interpreting the European Convention on Human Rights. 📚⚖️ Read the full Author Manuscript here: https://lnkd.in/e4TKmGfq

As human rights experts well versed in their national contexts, National Human Rights Institutions (#NHRIs) are well placed to play a key role in ensuring that the #CSDDD meets its objectives of protecting human rights and fostering responsible corporate behaviour across global value chains. In this blog post Mathilde Dicalou and I outline how #NHRIs have been engaged in the negotiation phases of the #CSDDD and what role they should have in transposition and implementation of the law, including: ➡ providing expert legal advice on transposition laws; ➡ supporting Supervisory Authorities to build human rights expertise; ➡ monitoring implementation; ➡ engaging with business, policymakers and CSOs to raise awareness and build capacity; ➡ convening key stakeholders to create spaces for constructive policy dialogues that allow for meaningful stakeholder engagement; and ➡ supporting rightsholders to access remedy and accountability mechanisms in the #CSDDD. Our The Danish Institute for Human Rights - International Activities project aims to help #NHRIs build capacity on the #CSDDD to ensure that they can play this role, but more is needed to ensure that they have adequate financial, human and technical resources. For more information on the project, please see the link in the comments. We give our thanks to Verfassungsblog and Dr. Franziska Oehm for the opportunity to participate in this excellent symposium on the #CSDDD and encourage everyone to read the other insightful posts made so far!
