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.

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.
