The Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar Series of classes is designed to shed light on some of the foreign and comparative law issues currently being researched by the foreign law and international law experts at the Law Library of Congress.
In this entry, Foreign Law Specialists Jenny Gesley and Elin Hofverberg will discuss the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. The webinar will provide a brief overview of the rights protected in the ECHR and how they have evolved over time. In particular, the webinar will highlight specific cases and interpretations of the rights by the European Court of Human Rights and how the execution of decisions is supervised. Concrete examples will be shared to illustrate the impact or lack of impact of the ECHR on national law and policy and to address issues that might arise with regard to the execution of judgements, such as non-compliance, delays in executing decisions, and inadequate implementation.
