Remedies in Human Rights Law: A Comparative Perspective between the Inter-American and European Systems

About this event

This seminar will explore the evolution, main features, and potential of remedies issued by international human rights courts to address human rights violations. The panel will discuss recent developments in the law of reparations, including the Ukraine war, climate change, Indigenous peoples’ rights, and transitional justice.
