Our newest guest editorial is by Nils Muznieks - the former @coe.int Human Rights Commissioner reflecting on his time in office. It is insightful, original and full of vision.

Our editors just published a paper on Russia’s expulsion from the Council of Europe. It is free to download.
“Don’t Bother Quitting, Because You’re Fired”: Russia’s Expulsion from the Council of Europe is the new article that I co-authored with V Tzevelekos. Here, we examine whether the failure to invite Russia to withdraw from the Council of Europe. We don’t believe it does brill.com/view/journal...

Our newest case comment looks at Executief Van De Moslims Van België v Belgium. In this case @echr.coe.int for the first time considered animal’s welfare as a relevant consideration in the freedom of religion cases. Excellent comment by Giulio Fedele. brill.com/view/journal...

We hope that, while enjoying the summer sun, you’ll also take a moment to read about a largely overlooked area of @echr.coe.int case law concerning the rights of future retirees. A new paper by Kevin Hartmann-Cortes explores the admissibility of such claims.

The margin of appreciation may be a cornerstone of ECtHR jurisprudence, but it's not endless. In a just-published article, Viktoriya Gurash sets out why some kinds of climate-related decisions must attract no or only a narrow margin of appreciation. Check it out here! brill.com/view/journal...

The ECtHR's 2024 climate cases were decidedly dogmatic concerning extraterritorial jurisdiction. Lea Raible analyzes this - and its interplay with positive obligations - in the first article of our upcoming special issue on the climate rulings, co-edited by Armando Rocha & @cohelongo.bsky.social.

In a few weeks we will publish reflections of former president of the @echr.coe.int Siofra O’Leary on her time as the President of the Court. She will tell the readers about the Reykjavik summit, difficulties and future of the court. Excellent must read for everyone who is interested in the Court.

The @coe.int Parliamentary Assembly elected three new judges of the European Cout of Human Rights: Vahe Grigoryan for Armenia, Vasilka Sancin for Slovenia and Canolic Mingorance Cairat for Andorra. The election of Slovenian Judge also means that we will soon have a new president of the Court.
