Speaker: Dr Alla Tymofeyeva
Alla Tymofeyeva is a Senior Lecturer at the Department of International Law at the Faculty of Law, Charles University (Prague). In addition to lecturing on Public International Law, she also offers an elective course titled Case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. Alla also coaches the Faculty of Law teams for international human rights competitions, such as the Helga Pedersen and Nelson Mandela moot courts. Currently, her professional interests revolve around the law of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) with a special focus on the rights of business entities. She is the author of the monographs on NGOs under the ECHR and the Human Rights of Older Persons.
The workshop aims to provide responses to the following questions:
What types of business entities are capable of lodging complaints with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)?
What human rights from the catalogue of the rights envisaged in the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) are applicable to business entities?
What are the specifics of the execution of the ECtHR judgments regarding business entities?
The discussion will focus on the particularities of submitting application forms to the ECtHR on behalf of business entities, considering their artificial nature, and the distinction between the rights of a company and its shareholders.
