Description
For more than twenty years, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) served as the most important international venue for Russian human rights lawyers. Through the Court, they challenged torture, political persecution, restrictions on free speech, and other human rights violations. Following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and its subsequent exclusion from the European human rights system, access to this legal avenue disappeared. This event is part of the CREECA Lecture Series
