On Wednesday 19 November 2025 from 12:00-13:00 (CET), the Hertie School Centre for Fundamental Rights is organizing an online research event entitled 'Human rights in armed conflict after the Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia judgment'. This online event will focus on an exploration of the merits part of the ECtHR's Grand Chamber judgment in the case of Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia. The presentation will be given by professor Marko Milanović (University of Reading School of Law, UK). The event is part of the Fundamental Rights Research Colloquium under the "Human Rights in Times of War" cluster organized by the Hertie School Centre for Fundamental Rights.
Here is a short description of the event:
'This talk will explore the merits judgment of the Grand Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights in its probably most important interstate case, Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia. The talk will explain what the Court decided on issues such as the extraterritorial application of the European Convention and the interaction between human rights law and the law of armed conflict. It will then provide some thoughts on how the law will develop in this area.'
