Join foreign law specialists Jenny Gesley and Elin Hofverberg on Thursday, February 26, at 2:00 p.m. EST for a Foreign and Comparative Law Webinar commemorating the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). This series of classes is designed to shed light on some of the foreign and comparative law issues currently being researched by the foreign law and international law experts at the Law Library of Congress.
November 4, 2025, marked 75 years since the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) opened for signature. The webinar will provide a brief overview of the rights protected in the ECHR and how they have evolved over time. It will highlight specific cases and interpretations of the rights by the European Court of Human Rights and how the execution of decisions is supervised. Concrete examples will be shared to illustrate the ECHR’s impact, or lack thereof, on national law and policy and to address issues that sometimes arise with regard to the execution of judgments, such as noncompliance, delays in executing decisions, and inadequate implementation.
