The Role of the Causal Inquiry for Finding Breaches of Human Rights Obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights

Organizers

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).
