European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)
As of March 29, 2025, several events have been held to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). While some of these events may have been recorded and made available online, specific information about their availability is limited.
Past Events:
Judicial Seminar on Artificial Intelligence and Human Rights (31 January 2025): This seminar focused on "Protecting human rights in a world of Artificial Intelligence, algorithms and big data" and took place at the Strasbourg University Faculty of Law. Details about the event can be found on the European Court of Human Rights website.
International Conference: The ECHR as a Living Instrument (14 March 2025): Co-organized by the European Court of Human Rights and Strasbourg University's Law Faculty, this conference explored the evolving role of the ECHR. Information about the conference is available on the Council of Europe's website. Portal
House of Lords Debate on the ECHR's 75th Anniversary (20 March 2025): The UK House of Lords held a debate to mark the anniversary, with contributions from various members reflecting on the convention's impact. The full transcript of the debate is accessible via Hansard.
Availability of Recordings:
While the House of Lords typically provides transcripts of debates through Hansard, video recordings are often available on ParliamentLive.tv. However, as of now, there is no specific information confirming the availability of a video recording for this particular debate.House of Lords Library
For the Judicial Seminar and International Conference, there is no publicly available information indicating that these events were recorded or that recordings have been published online.
Upcoming Events:
As of this date, there are no publicly announced events scheduled for the remainder of 2025 to commemorate the ECHR's 75th anniversary. However, it's possible that additional events may be organized later in the year. To stay informed about upcoming events, I recommend regularly checking the official websites of the Council of Europe and the European Court of Human Rights, as they may announce further commemorative activities or publish recordings of past events.
Other Related Initiatives:
It's worth noting that the United Nations celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) with various events and initiatives. For instance, a high-level conference was held, and its recording is available online. YouTube
While this pertains to the UDHR rather than the ECHR, it reflects the broader global engagement with human rights milestones.
Conclusion:
While specific recordings of the ECHR's 75th-anniversary events are not readily available online, related materials and transcripts can be accessed through official channels. Staying updated with the Council of Europe and European Court of Human Rights' communications will provide the most current information on any future events or the release of recordings.
