Summer School 2025: Effectiveness of the Council of Europe in tackling the pressing challenges
Exploring the execution of ECtHR judgments and the complexities of migration.
Dates: 7 - 18 July 2025
Location: School of Law and Social Justice
The third Liverpool Summer School in the Law of the Council of Europe.
Discussion
For over 75 years, the Council of Europe unites Europe around the values of democracy, human rights and the rule of law. In 2025, the participants of the Summer School will debate whether the Council of Europe is successful in its mission. The aim of the summer school is twofold.
Firstly, the experts will assess the effectiveness of execution of the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights and other bodies of the Council of Europe. Secondly, the Summer School will also address the pressing challenges of migration, a critical legal and political issue facing every European state. Discussions will examine the Council of Europe’s role in protecting the rights of migrants, analysing relevant legal standards, policies, and the responsibilities of member states in this context.
The course will feature insights from key decision-makers within the Council of Europe, leading academics, and other stakeholders. Through these discussions, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the Council of Europe, its effectiveness in protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The participants will gain the knowledge necessary for research, effective advocacy, implementation and public policy design.
