ECHR Law Review

New and highly topical paper on @echr.coe.int and climate litigation in our advance access.

The newest editorial note from on of our editors-in-chief Vassilis Tzevelekos who asks us to think if the ECHR failed us? In this thought provoking piece he engages with two guest editorials by Judge Pavli and Nils Muznieks. The editorial piece is available in open access. brill.com/downloadpdf/...

Our newest guest editorial note from Judge Darian Pavli expanding on his ideas from Novaya Gazeta v Russia: brill.com/view/journal... (open access)

That is right but it will be in open access in a few weeks after the full issue is published online.

Our newest guest editorial is by Nils Muznieks - the former @coe.int Human Rights Commissioner reflecting on his time in office. It is insightful, original and full of vision. It is behind the paywall for now but it will be in open access when the issue is published online. brill.com/view/journal...

While most people are taking their well deserved summer breaks we keep producing excellent research on @echr.coe.int This time it is a paper by Adam Krzywon looking at defamation. It will be a part of our upcoming special issue on prevention of democratic decay. brill.com/view/journal...

Our editors just published a paper on Russia’s expulsion from the Council of Europe. It is free to download.

Our newest case comment looks at Executief Van De Moslims Van België v Belgium. In this case @echr.coe.int for the first time considered animal’s welfare as a relevant consideration in the freedom of religion cases. Excellent comment by Giulio Fedele. brill.com/view/journal...

We hope that, while enjoying the summer sun, you’ll also take a moment to read about a largely overlooked area of @echr.coe.int case law concerning the rights of future retirees. A new paper by Kevin Hartmann-Cortes explores the admissibility of such claims.

Our editor @dzehtsiarou.bsky.social just published his editorial note for the upcoming issue of our journal looking at the social contract within which the @echr.coe.int is operating (open access): brill.com/view/journal...

Great Debates on the European Convention on Human Rights

You can now pre-order the second edition of Great Debates on the European Convention on Human Rights that I wrote with @fdelond.bsky.social. It covers many new things that happened since the first one including climate change cases, Russia’s expulsion and many more www.bloomsbury.com/uk/great-deb...

We are delighted to publish a guest editorial from David Anderson KC with a strong argument on why @echr.coe.int is actually good for UK national security and why the arguments for withdrawal are unfounded. Open access brill.com/view/journal...

The newest editorial comment by the former president of the European Court of Human Rights, Siofra O’Leary is available on our website. It contains a lot of food for thought for those who are interested in the development of the Strasbourg system of human rights protection: brill.com/view/journal...

Antoine Duval from @tmcasser.bsky.social just published a very important comment on the @echr.coe.int judgment in Semenya v Switzerland ahead of the reconsideration of this case by the Grand Chamber.

Our new special issue on the never-ending saga of EU accession to the ECHR is already online with most up-to-date analysis of the most current developments brill.com/view/journal...

The margin of appreciation may be a cornerstone of ECtHR jurisprudence, but it's not endless. In a just-published article, Viktoriya Gurash sets out why some kinds of climate-related decisions must attract no or only a narrow margin of appreciation. Check it out here! brill.com/view/journal...

More pieces in this topical special issue will follow soon. Meanwhile, Lea Raible's article - published precisely on the one-year anniversary of the Court's climate rulings - is available here in advance access: doi.org/10.1163/2666....

The ECtHR's 2024 climate cases were decidedly dogmatic concerning extraterritorial jurisdiction. Lea Raible analyzes this - and its interplay with positive obligations - in the first article of our upcoming special issue on the climate rulings, co-edited by Armando Rocha & @cohelongo.bsky.social.

In a few weeks we will publish reflections of former president of the @echr.coe.int Siofra O’Leary on her time as the President of the Court. She will tell the readers about the Reykjavik summit, difficulties and future of the court. Excellent must read for everyone who is interested in the Court.

We were a bit slow in using this account but we will use it more now. Please check our advance articles section - our upcoming issue on EU accession to ECHR is already there: brill.com/view/journal...

YouTube video by Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou Expulsion of Russia from the Council of Europe. Podcast.

In this podcast @edbatesechr.bsky.social , @drandrewforde.bsky.social and @cahillrip.bsky.social discuss the relationship between Russia and the @coe.int www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hyu2...

The @coe.int Parliamentary Assembly elected three new judges of the European Cout of Human Rights: Vahe Grigoryan for Armenia, Vasilka Sancin for Slovenia and Canolic Mingorance Cairat for Andorra. The election of Slovenian Judge also means that we will soon have a new president of the Court.

One of our editors just recorded this podcast on Russia’s expulsion from the @coe.int

Our newest paper is by professor @tobiaslock.bsky.social who considers how EU accession to the European Convention will change the latter. Really interesting paper which will form a part of our upcoming special issue on EU accession to the ECHR. brill.com/view/journal...
