On 24-25 January 2024, the Council of Europe TJENI project in cooperation with the National Court Administration of Lithuania held a series of workshops dedicated to publication of judicial decisions and enhancement of the national implementation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) and the case law of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR).

Throughout 2 days, 43 Lithuanian judges and judicial assistants explored and discussed relevant human rights standards and challenges such as legal reasoning and procedural review of the ECHR, privacy and personal data protection in the context of dissemination of judicial decisions. The discussions were led by the renown experts: Professor Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou from the University of Liverpool and Boglarka Benko, Senior Lawyer at the ECtHR.

Overall, the workshops further equipped Lithuanian judiciary with pertinent tools for domestic application of international human rights standards in the rise of new technology. 

The project “Foster Transparency of Judicial Decisions and Enhancing the National Implementation of the ECHR” is implemented by the Council of Europe and funded by the EEA and Norway Grants fund for Regional Cooperation.
