Third International Conference – Human Rights Day
- OrganisersСenter for Constitutional Studies. Information support – scientific journals COMPARATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL REVIEW and INTERNATIONAL JUSTICE
- Date of the event
December 8, 9 and 10, 2023
- LanguageRussian and English
Human rights or the principle of the rule of law and the separation of powers are the unifying foundations of constitutionalism and constitutional systems in different regions, in different cultures. The academic conference is thought to take the contours of a new model or models of the relationship between international and national human rights courts as the background for exchanging different views on the structured vision of the future functioning of human rights system in Russia and globally. The use of methods of 'future studies' or ‘foresight’ for global justice should assist in the critical assessment of what should be changed and what should be kept, what should serve as the basis for the re-imagination of constitutional and international justice, which factors and trends will influence the forthcoming developments.
