EIUC: ACTIONES Multi-Stakeholder training: “Fundamental Rights Strategic Litigation à la Carte in the EU”, 16th-18th October 2017, Venice

From 16th-18th of October 2017 ACTIONES Multi-Stakeholder training: “Fundamental Rights Strategic Litigation à la Carte in the EU” will take place.

This is the final multi-stakeholder training session of the EU funded ACTIONES project, which targets legal professionals with the aim to explore potential of the Charter of Fundamental Rights as the basis of the strategic litigation. The training puts a specific emphasis on the dynamically growing area of irregular migration and asylum.

The 3-days training is organised around three main areas: the role of the different actors before, during and after litigation, the role of the different instances at the regional and international levels, and the policy implications of strategic litigation; strategic litigation on the basis of selected fundamental rights protected by the EU Charter; highlights of best practices and challenges from own practice. Case studies on procedural issues relating to public interest litigation will be analysed and the learning will be closed by a simulation exercise.

ACTIONES is coordinated by the European University Institute Centre for Judicial Cooperation and involves 16 partner institutions.

The training will take place at the EIUC premises in Venice Lido at the Monastery of San Nicolò. The registration deadline is the 1st August 2017 and representatives of non-governmental organisations (NGOs), National Human Rights Institutions (NHRIs), Equality Bodies (EBs); judges, public officials and individual litigants are eligible to apply.
