Migration, Population Movement and the Rule of Law is the topic of an upcoming seminar hosted by The European Circuit and supported by 18 St John Street Chambers.
Migration, Population Movement and the Rule of Law – a Seminar
18 St John Street Chambers are supporting the forthcoming seminar which is taking place in Strasbourg at the European Court of Human Rights in May. ‘Human rights without frontiers? Migration, Population movement & the Rule of Law’ is hosted by The European Circuit.
“Across Europe, policy responses to migration and population movement are testing the boundaries of the rule of law and human rights principles. The war in Ukraine, and conflicts across Syria, Libya and Afghanistan have been potent ingredients in the mix. With climate change threatening the territory of entire island nations, handling large-scale population movement is a challenge European legal systems will be unable to avoid.” (The European Circuit Website)
European Court of Human Rights
The event tales place on 19th May 2023 at the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg. It is free to attend for members of the European Circuit of the Bar.

Tickets are being offered on a first-come-first-serve basis and it is free-to-attend for members of the European Circuit of the Bar. If you are not already member, you can join provided that you are a lawyer – or training to be one – and in Europe. Come! Join us! I hope to see you there!”
