On Saturday, 29 June 2013, UCD Human Rights Network will host a conference The ECHR and Ireland: 60 Years and Beyond in the Hilton Hotel, Charlemont Place, Dublin 6. This conference will feature national and international experts on human rights law, and will be a forum for both reflecting on the impact of the European Convention on Human Rights, as well as looking forward to potential avenues of rights protection.
The aim of this Conference will be to examine Ireland’s engagement with the European Convention on Human Rights as a party to the Convention for the past 60 years and through the incorporation of the Convention into Irish domestic law through the ECHR Act 2003. A sub-theme will be to project the likely implications of current Strasbourg case law on Irish domestic law. Hosted by the Human Rights Network at UCD, the conference will feature presentations by a wide range of national and international academic experts, practitioners and advocates in the human rights field on the effect of the ECHR in Ireland in respect of numerous themes including poverty, asylum and immigration, criminal justice, marginalised groups and the private sphere.
