Our very best wishes for the new year to all our readers. Amidst the whirlwind of international news and the flouting of international law and human and fundamental rights, this blog will continue to provide news, thorough analysis and announcements on everything related to the ECHR and its Court. As announced at the end of last year, we do so with an expanded and energetic editorial team.
With 80 blogposts last year and over 770,000 pageviews last year, we look back on another successful year for the blog. Many of our most read posts were guest bulges and we warmly invite such submissions. Please also continue to send us your announcements of ECHR-related events, publications, workshops and conferences - we are happy to inform a large audience about them.
