About the event
With guest speaker Robert Spano
Abstract:
This presentation will comprise three parts: Robert Spano will firstly discuss the four historical phases in the life of the ECtHR and their main conceptual elements. Secondly, he will give an overview of the main trends in the case-law during the current phase beginning with the coming into force of Protocol 14. Finally, he will reflect on the main challenges facing the Convention system in an era where the Rule of Law has, once again, become the primordial principle in international human rights law.
