OUT-LINES Webinar: European Court of Human Rights Navigating Turbulent Relationships with States

Garden Court North Chambers’ International Law Team, in association with the University of Manchester Justice Hub and International Law Centre and the Accountability Unit, are delighted to bring you the second in our OUT-LINES series on International Law.

This webinar focuses on the European Court of Human Rights, which is currently under intense scrutiny as are human rights generally. From Britain in the West to Russia in the East previously unchallenged international laws and norms are being contested. Turkey’s relationship with the Court, arguably, personifies and encapsulates the challenges for the Court and the consequences for victims of rights violations. Is there a balance to be struck and how might it be achieved? What are the implications for other States? Are there more radical solutions? Join us for this fascinating and timely talk.

The webinar is chaired by Leto Cariolou, Associate Member of Garden Court North Chambers and hosted by Işıl Aral from Manchester University’s International Law Centre who together with our panel of speakers focus on the relationship between the European Court of Human Rights and Turkey. They will also address the Court’s response to the emergency measures adopted in Turkey following the coup of 15 July 2016 that tried to seize power and overthrow President Erdogan.
