📣 TODAY in SPUI25: Wiebe Hommes shines a new light on the pushback against European human rights. Join us tonight in Amsterdam or through the livestream 👇
The Convention and the Kingdom
The European Convention on Human Rights is nowadays one of the most prominent human rights treaties. In particular in the Netherlands, it has become the main legal tool for fundamental rights protection. As such, it has also found itself in the spotlight: pushback has developed against its perceived excessive constraining of political options and the European Court is being criticized for interference with domestic sensitivities.

'We must not lose sight of the uncomfortable truth that most murders of women take place in the domestic sphere.' Bregje Dijksterhuis argues it is time for the law to address domestic violence adequately.
Femicide: (ex-) partners are more dangerous than strangers
The fear of the “stranger hiding in the bushes” is well and truly ingrained following the murder of 17-year-old Lisa. But beware, warns Bregje Dijksterhuis, assistant professor of Family Law: most femicide takes place within the home. According to her, it is time for the law to address domestic violence adequately.

Veel van de Palestijnse lichamen die door Israël zijn overgedragen aan Gaza, vertonen sporen van marteling en executie. Volgens hoogleraar Militair recht Marten Zwanenburg kan dit een schending betekenen van zowel het oorlogsrecht als de mensenrechten. @rtl.nl
Geblinddoekt, vastgebonden, geëxecuteerd: door Israël overgedragen lichamen wijzen op oorlogsmisdaden
Veel van de Palestijnse lichamen die de afgelopen dagen door Israël zijn overgedragen aan de autoriteiten in Gaza, vertonen sporen van marteling en executie. Dat zeggen artsen van het Nasser-ziekenhuis, waar de lichamen naartoe zijn gebracht.
