The #European Court of Human Rights recognizes #Feminicidio #femicide #feminicide as a human rights violation! Here's my blogpost based on my doctoral dissertation: e-elgar.com/shop/gbp/concept…

In N.D. v. Switzerland, the Court found that the Swiss authorities had failed in their positive obligation to protect the applicant from domestic violence. @AngHefti discusses the significance of the recognition of femi(ni)cide in the Court's case law.

Great post on the interplay between politics and climate change. Switzerland 🇨🇭 is legally bound by the European Court of Human Rights' historic #VereinKlimaSeniorinnen v. Switzerland case. Just saying #climatechange #humanrights #ecthr

A while back I blogged about the initial political responses to the @KlimaSeniorin judgment within Switzerland, noting that we needed to wait for a definitive position from the Federal Executive, which we'd get in August.
Well, today was the day: they issued a position. (1/x)

What is "environmental constitutionalism"? My answer is now out in final form thanks to the great team at Environmental Law. I untangle the meaning of this tricky concept, and argue for a new agenda in democratic environmental governance. Read it here! law.lclark.edu/live/files/36…
