Migration is a real policy challenge, but blaming the Convention is misplaced - and it’s crucial to keep the discussion rooted in facts.

Assistant Prof. of Economic Law at DCU, Dr. Niall Moran joins Dr. Ian Cooper to unpack the EU’s powers over trade, assess the implications of the 'Turnberry Agreement' with the US, and consider how Europe can defend its interests in a shifting global trading system - from Washington to the WTO.

This symposium will explore whether such criticisms are legitimate or part of a wider effort to scapegoat the Convention. The event also marks the launch of the AGORA Group, a pan-European platform fostering open, evidence-based debate on ECHR issues.

The European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) faces political backlash, accused of judicial overreach and blamed for domestic policy failings. Recent calls by several states to limit the Court’s authority and renewed debates in the UK over leaving the ECHR signal a shifting political climate.
