Domestic Implementation of International Human Rights Judgments: An Ongoing Conversation in the European and Inter-American Human Rights Systems

06:30PM - 08:00PM 2223 Massachusetts Ave NW, Washington D.C. 20008

The Academy on Human Rights and Humanitarian Law and the American Society of International Law present as part of the Human Rights Speaker Series:

Domestic Implementation of International Human Rights Judgments: An Ongoing Conversation in the European and Inter-American Human Rights Systems

The domestic implementation of international human rights judgments is considered an essential aspect to assess the effectiveness of regional human rights courts. Both at the Inter-American and European levels, experts have been debating for years on alternatives to improve the level of compliance with these judgments and devise tools to enhance state engagement in the process. The speakers in this panel, with extensive experience in the regional human rights systems, will explore the scope of the notion of "implementation" and evaluate whether additional levels of impacts can be identified in the process of enforcing compliance and redressing victims.
