Join us for an engaging talk by Assoc. Prof. Donatas Murauskas, exploring the critical tensions between militant democracy and international human rights obligations. This talk will examine how governments have invoked militant democracy concept to justify restrictive measures and how these arguments have been assessed by the European Court of Human Rights. Through a focus on key cases like Savickis v. Latvia and Ždanoka v. Latvia, the discussion will highlight the evolving dynamics of militant democracy within the fragmented European legal framework. Whether you are a legal scholar, practitioner, or simply curious about the intersection of democracy and rights, this event will provide valuable insights into one of the most pressing debates in European law today.
The language of the event is English.
