The Role of the Causal Inquiry for Finding Breaches of Human Rights Obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights<\/strong> (abstract<\/em>s)
The objective of this workshop is to try to disentangle the different ways in which causation is relevant for establishing state responsibility under the European Convention on Human Rights. The objective is to gather a mix of scholars: scholars that have a more theoretical\/analytical background, scholars that have a more ECHR case-law oriented research profile and scholars that have addressed causation in national settings (such as tort law). Workshop: June 5-6, 2025 at Lund University, Sweden. Abstract deadline: February 20, 2025.<\/strong> See more here<\/a>.

Symposium Collection of the Transnational Environmental Law Journal \u2013 Law, Science and Indigenous Knowledge<\/strong>\u00a0(papers<\/em>)
In the context of multiple, global environmental crises, policy-makers, scientists, researchers, and activists have identified a critical gap between science and policy in environmental law-making. Law-makers, it is argued, have failed to create rules or develop tools that respond to and address the significant threats that scientists are identifying. Policy instruments do not reflect scientific recommendations. At the same time, scientific research and outputs often fail to engage with the spectrum of concerns that shape the law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both law and science institutions are plagued by issues of accessibility and both are shaped by social, economic and geographic determinants that often entrench problematic, exclusionary, neo-colonial practices and priorities. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the ongoing exclusion of Indigenous Peoples, Indigenous knowledge, and Indigenous law in law and science research and practice, domestically and internationally. Deadline:\u00a0Papers (8000 words) must be submitted by email to the Symposium conveners (d.lupin@soton.ac.uk<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0clive.vinti@wits.ac.za<\/a>) by\u00a0May 15, 2025<\/strong>. Kindly contact either Clive or Dina should you have any questions.
