The Summer School, entitled “Council of Europe legal instruments to combat corruption and violence against women (Istanbul Convention)”, is focusing on the Council of Europe’s Istanbul and its two anti-corruption conventions. It is taking place from 30 June to 4 July 2024 in Strasbourg.
In his opening remarks, Gianluca Esposito emphasised that “Council of Europe conventions offer a sound legal basis for countries to address together the challenges of their times. Now more than ever we need multilateral solutions to multilateral challenges.”
