Training practitioners in European remedies: a commitment to fundamental rights

Mr Grégory Thuan Dit Dieudonné spoke in Naples as part of an advanced training course on European mechanisms for the protection of fundamental rights, organised under the auspices of the Consiglio dell’Ordine degli Avvocati di Napoli, the Union of European Lawyers (U.A.E.) and the European Law Institute (ELI).

On this occasion, he led a session on drafting applications to the European Court of Human Rights, covering the strategic and practical aspects of European litigation, from the conditions for admissibility to the presentation of claims based on the European Convention on Human Rights.

This training formed part of a wider programme focusing on the main European legal instruments, which also covered preliminary rulings before the Court of Justice of the European Union as well as complaint and infringement procedures before the European Commission.

Bringing together lawyers, academics, judges and specialists in European law, this event highlighted the growing importance of mastering supranational remedies in the defence of fundamental freedoms and the rule of law.

The exchange of litigation experience and the sharing of best practice remain essential tools for ensuring the effectiveness of European human rights protection.
