Event Details

The question of whether and to what extent human rights obligations apply extraterritorially, notably in situations of armed conflict, continues to be hugely contested. This event will review some important recent developments, beginning with the European Court of Human Rights judgment in Georgia v. Russia (II), delivered on the 21st of January. Speakers will also discuss last year's communications before the CRC Committee concerning the repatriation of children whose parents are linked to terrorism activities, as well as, in the UK, the controversial Overseas Operations (Service Personnel and Operations) Bill, which passed an important legislative stage on the 20th of January.

Chair:

Shaheed Fatima QC, Blackstone Chambers

Speakers:

  • Dr Lea Raible, University of Glasgow
  • Dr Aurel Sari, University of Exeter
  • Dr Ralph Wilde, University College London


This event is convened by Kristin Hausler, Dorset Senior Research Fellow in Public International Law and Director, Centre for International Law
