On 3-5 April 2025, Vira Tokareva, PhD in Law, Associate Professor of the Department of Civil Law, attended the Human Rights Days, an international conference on human rights organised by the Central European Academy in Budapest. The speakers at the conference were judges of the European Court of Human Rights: Mykola Gnatovsky (Ukraine), Latif Huseynov (Azerbaijan), Tim Eicke (Germany), Lado Chanturia (Georgia), Peter Patzolay (Hungary), Saadet Yuksel (Turkey), and Alena Polackova (Slovakia).
‘Human Rights Days are timed to coincide with the 75th anniversary of the signing of the European Convention on Human Rights in Rome. Since its adoption in 1950 and entry into force in 1953, the Convention has been a cornerstone in the protection of human rights in Europe.
The Conference addressed the issues of interpretation of the rights guaranteed by the Convention, which are changing due to the development of the Court's approaches. Over the past decades, the Court has faced several unprecedented challenges that have required it to interpret the Convention as a living instrument in the light of contemporary conditions.
The Central European Academy in Budapest manages research and training projects in the field of comparative law in Central Europe. The Human Rights Days conference in Budapest provided a platform for scholars and practitioners to discuss the future of human rights protection in Europe.
