When and why do domestic judges engage with the rulings of international human rights courts and treaty bodies? 🤔 @jkrommendijk.bsky.social interviewed Dutch judges to answer this question #ecprgc25

The Human Right to a Healthy Environment from an EU Charter Perspective

Why hasn’t the #CJEU embraced the human right to a healthy environment, even though it’s enshrined in the EU Charter? Check my contribution in the @verfassungsblog.de #HR2HE symposium: do recent rulings (Ilva) signal a shift toward stronger rights-based protection? verfassungsblog.de/ip-hr2he-eu-...

Yesterday was #HumanRightsDay and the 5th Anniversary of the launch of #HumanRightsHere!

As our first post, we share reflections on the state of human rights in 2024. Some extremely concerning and some maybe reassuring developments have shaped how #HumanRights are perceived and practiced globally.

The Law and Policy of the EU External Environmental Action: How Green is the EU Green Deal? | Radboud University The seminar examines the EU's external role as a green actor.

🚨🚨 Inspired by fellow EU nerds, I did a first attempt in creating a starter pack on European law and politics (defined in a broad sense) collecting some of the people I really think you should follow in this area. More names will be added but a bit exhausted by this work.

The Netherlands Network of Human Rights Research (NNHRR) is now on Bluesky. All Dutch Law faculties are a member. The Network organises wonderful workshops, also for non-members. We have working groups on #Business, #Migration, #Climate, #Digital Tech and #esc-rights: @nnhrr.bsky.social. Stay tuned!

Screenshot: "Judicial dialogue in Europe has been a focal point of academic discourse for long. Scholars have extensively examined the reasons why national judges engage in judicial dialogue with supranational courts, and the constitutional dynamics behind those processes. Despite this extensive body of research, new issues continue to emerge. This panel considers the latest academic insights into the dynamics of judicial dialogue in Europe which includes examining the evolving reasons behind national courts’ engagement with the ECJ and the ECtHR, the impact of recent jurisprudence, and the broader implications for effective judicial protection."

The panel "Unfolding judicial dialogue in the Europe" chaired by Urszula Jaremba and @jkrommendijk.bsky.social invites papers on judicial dialogue.

De gezamenlijke basislijn blijkt een dode letter. Partijen blijven niet ‘binnen de grenzen' (#1,5). Partijen houden ‘elkaar en anderen’ niet ‘heel’ (#7), gelet op ‘polariserende omgangsvormen’ (Achahbar). Waar blijft de ‘bestuurscultuur die een constructieve bijdrage levert’ (#7)?

🌐 Art. 90 (bevordering internationale rechtsorde): de bezuinigingen van 1 miljard op ontwikkelingssamenwerking schaden de bescherming van o.m. mensen-, vrouwen- en LHBTi-rechten in andere landen.

🎓 Art. 23 (onderwijs): er vonden toch demonstraties plaats tegen de bezuinigingen op hoger onderwijs en de #langstudeerboete. De maatregelen zijn in strijd met eerdere afspraken en zetten de kwaliteit en toegankelijkheid onder druk. www.advocatenorde.nl/nieuws/negen...

🍀 Art. 21 (verbetering leefmilieu): Deze week deed het Gerechtshof uitspraak in de #klimaatzaak Shell/ Milieudefensie. Ook trof Greenpeace de Staat in de rechtbank tav de gebrekkige stikstofaanpak. Het kabinet wil mogelijk de toegang tot de rechter van belangenorganisaties beperken (art. 17 Gw).

👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Art. 9 (#demonstratierecht): dit recht staat al jaren onder druk. Met het dagenlange demonstratieverbod in Amsterdam begaf de burgemeester zich op glad ijs. Antoine Buyse plaatste juridische vraagtekens bij de afgelaste demonstratie tegen onderwijsbezuinigingen. www.linkedin.com/posts/antoin...

🖋 Art. 7 (vrijheid van #meningsuiting): Van der Plas (BBB) stelde op X voor om ‘haatzaaiende platforms zoals #Cestmocro’ te verbieden. Uiterst twijfelachtig met het oog op de persvrijheid.

Meekijken achter kerkdeuren door onderwijsinspectie ongewenst In het licht van de scheiding van kerk en staat zou de overheid niet moeten ”meekijken” in het godsdienstonderwijs van kerken.

🕍 Art. 6 (vrijheid van #godsdienst): deze week ging de wet inzake ‘toezicht op uitwassen informeel #onderwijs’ in consultatie. Mijn collega Hansko Broeksteeg schreef al dat dit ‘een zorgwekkende koers’ is gelet op de scheiding van kerk en staat. www.rd.nl/artikel/1022...

Ricky van Oers on LinkedIn: RTL Nieuws - 19:30 uur Gisteren mocht ik in diverse media commentaar geven op het idee om de mogelijkheid tot intrekken van het Nederlanderschap uit te breiden wegens…

⛔ Art. 2 (Nederlanderschap): het kabinet wil het Nederlanderschap intrekken vanwege antisemitisme. Mijn collega Ricky van Oers legde al uit waarom dit anti-rechtsstatelijk is. www.linkedin.com/posts/ricky-...

1️⃣ Art. 1 (gelijkheid): #antisemitisch, doelgericht #geweld tegen Maccabi supporters, racistische spreekkoren. Een debat vol generalisaties: islamitische jongeren zouden ‘onze normen en waarden’ niet onderschrijven (Nobel). Binnenskamers mogelijk racistischer: ‘halalvreters’, ‘pus’, ‘genen’ en ‘DNA’.

Met pijn in het hart kijk ik terug op een politiek roerige week, vooral ook vanuit het perspectief van onze #Grondwet, #grondrechten en democratische #rechtsstaat. Hier volgt een bloemlezing van zorgelijke ontwikkelingen adhv 8 artikelen in de #Grondwet. Wat is de Gezamenlijke basislijn nog waard?🧵
