On 15 June 2020, an online webinar was organised for the newly appointed Supreme Court judges and legal staff on the latest case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). Participants of the webinar learned about cases examined by the Court in 2019-2020. Discussed topics included cross-examination of witnesses, allowing ​sufficient time to acquaint itself with telecommunication-surveillance data and electronic files, independence and impartiality of judges, restrictions on the right to a public hearing, or domestic violence and other legal aspects derived from the articles 6 and 8 of the ECHR. In addition, participants overviewed the case-law of the ECtHR on state-emergency measures and the derogatory clause of Article 15 of the Convention.

The online session is organised under the CoE/EU joint project "Supporting the criminal justice reforms - tackling criminal aspects of the judicial reforms in Georgia" which is funded by the European Union within the framework of Partnership for Good Governance programme.
