Fernando Arlettaz Visits UCL

Dr Arlettaz has published extensively on topics at the intersection of Legal Theory, International Law, and Human Rights. He has been a Fernand Braudel / Marie Curie post-doctoral fellow at Aix-Marseille University (France) and has held many visiting positions in numerous Latin American and European institutions. During his stay at UCL, hosted by Professor Myriam Hunter-Henin, Fernando will carry out research and liaise with colleagues on his current research project relating to “Populism, Religion and Human Rights”. Informal discussions will be structured around the following headings: democratic backsliding and the notion of a “legal populism” in Western Europe, the reaction of the European Court of Human Rights in relation to populist pressures and comparative perspectives on the protection of religious freedom.
