Seminar - How to Disregard Consensus? Corporal Punishment, Transsexuals and Abortions - Thursday 20th October, 6pm

Speakers: Kanstantsin Dzehtsiarou & Fiona de Londras, UCD School of Law This informal seminar will consider the role of European consensus in decision-making at the European Court of Human Rights and whether internal consensus - i.e. consensus within an individual country - or a broader interna-tional trend, can justify a departure from commonly accepted standards amongst states parties to the ECHR. Discussion will focus on three cases: Tyrer v UK (which concerned corporal punishment), Goodwin v UK (transsexuals' rights) and A, B and C v Ireland (abortion). Thursday 20th October, 6pm Arbitration Room, 1st Floor, Distillery Building, 145-151 Church Street, Dublin 7 Attendance is free to ISIL members and membership will be available at the door (€30 per annum/€15 conc.)
