Description
The STARLIGHT programme promotes the use of the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights (the Charter) as a tool for strategic litigation. It aims to improve the protection of fundamental rights across the EU, in particular in those member states where fundamental rights are under threat. This thematic module focuses on asylum and migration law and how EU law – including rights under the Charter – can be more effectively applied. It will address the specific topic of fair trial and effective remedy in this context, where domestic laws and practices have been frequently found in breach of EU law and rights violations are common in various Member States. The starting point will be the right to an effective remedy and a fair trial (Article 47 of the Charter). The module led by Gruša Matevžič and Galina Cornelisse will draw on practical examples from recent case law and will benefit from the specific expertise of invited guests.| Period | 28 Apr 2024 |
