Training for judges on
European Convention on Human Rights and relevant case law of the European Court
of Human Rights.
Within
the framework of the Denmark’s Georgia Programme 2010-2013 “Promotion of
Judicial Reform, Human and Minority Rights†a training seminar for judges will
take place on 16-17 February at the High School of Justice. Judges will be
trained on the latest case law of the European Court of Human Rights on Articles
6 (Right to fair trial), 2 (Right to life) and 3 (Prohibition of torture) of the
European Convention on Human Rights that are especially relevant for the
Georgian judiciary. The use of practical case studies (in combination with legal
theory) will allow judges to put their acquired knowledge on these issues into
practice to the benefit of judges.
A
political organisation set up in 1949, the Council of Europe works to promote
democracy and human rights continent-wide. It also develops common responses to
social, cultural and legal challenges in its 47 member states.
