EU Accession to the ECHR

Objective

At a decisive moment for Europe’s legal order, this seminar brings together leading experts to reflect on what the EU’s accession to the ECHR will mean in practice. Through keynotes, roundtable discussions, and open dialogue, participants will examine how this step can strengthen Europe’s human rights protection, reshape the dialogue between the CJEU and the ECtHR, and influence the daily work of courts, lawmakers and institutions. The programme invites conversation, critical insight, and forward-looking thinking about how to best align Europe’s legal systems with its shared values.

Key topics

• Draft accession agreement
• Co-respondent mechanism and the relation between CJEU and ECtHR
• Interaction between the EU Charter, ECHR and national constitutions
• Post-accession dynamics between the CJEU, ECtHR, and national courts
