Roundtable: Ensuring Effective Communication on Migration and the European Convention on Human Rights
Strasbourg & online
More than 300 participants have registered to attend the Roundtable on Ensuring Effective Communication on Migration and the European Convention on Human Rights, both online and in person.
The Council of Europe Division on Migration and Refugees(DMR) and European Network of National Human Rights Institutions (ENNHRI) are bringing together representatives of the European Court of Human Rights, NHRIs, journalists, civil society, academia and policy-makers to discuss how to strengthen fact-based communication on migration and the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).
Building on the first roundtable held in 2025 (summary report ), the event will explore how to counter misinformation, disinformation and misleading narratives, while strengthening public understanding of human rights standards and the Court’s case law concerning migration.
In this context, the roundtable will look at:
- Communication challenges faced by the Court and the wider ECHR system
- Communication strategies and tools developed by the Court
- The role of NHRIs, CSOs, mainstream and social media
- Communicating the positive impact of the Court on people’s everyday lives and national law and practice
