Hybrid Event - SLSJ Event Space and Online via zoom
On 24 February 2022, Russia commenced its military aggression against Ukraine. A year later we will discuss the consequences of this catastrophic event focusing on the Russian membership in the Council of Europe. Russia was a member of the Council of Europe (CoE), and a Contracting Party to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) for 26 years. On 16 March 2022, it became the first country to be expelled from the CoE, a consequence of which was its exit from the ECHR, six months later. The ramifications for the CoE and ECHR are hard to overestimate. In this workshop we will overview the difficult relations between Russia and the CoE.
Speakers:
Ed Bates - Associate Professor in Law at the University of Leicester.
Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou - Professor in Human Rights Law and Associate Dean for Research of the School of Law and Social Justice.

Isabella Risini – Senior research associate at Ruhr-University, Germany, and currently Managing Director of the Center for International Affairs, Faculty of Law, Ruhr-University, Bochum.
Discussant:
