More than one hundred legal practitioners and scholars are taking part in an OSCE-supported  international forum on the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) that starts in western Ukrainian city of Lviv on 30 November 2012.

The three-day forum, supported by OSCE Project Co-ordinator in Ukraine (PCU), will also focus on the various procedural grounds for inadmissibility of applications to the ECtHR, as well as a state’s positive obligations under European Convention on Human Rights.

For the last three years the forum has been providing a platform for discussion on a wide range of legal issues in the region. Speakers include ECtHR judges, a lawyer from the Court’s registry and prominent legal experts who have dealt with the Court’s case law.

The event is organized by the law faculty of Ivan Franko National University of Lviv as part of a PCU project aimed at improving legal and human rights education in Ukraine.
