Conference: EUI, Florence, 1st and 2nd June 2016
Theme: Building Consensus on European Consensus
The conference aims to examine the meaning, mechanics and normative consequences of European consensus as a method of interpretation used by the European Court of Human Rights when it recognises the emergence of “new” rights within the Convention system, particularly in areas regarded as politically, socially of morally sensitive. In an attempt to study European consensus through an interdisciplinary lens, the conference will bring together scholars in Human Rights law, Constitutional law, Legal Philosophy and Public International law, as well as members of the European judiciary, with a keynote from Professor Conor Gearty (Professor of Human Rights Law, London School of Economics).
