SUMMARY:On Jurisdictional Conversations: Why do the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights cite each other’s judgements?
DESCRIPTION:<p>RCC is pleased to announce this talk by <a href="internal:/people/mar%C3%ADa-d%C3%ADaz-crego" data-url="http://rcc.harvard.edu/people/mar%C3%ADa-d%C3%ADaz-crego">María Díaz Crego</a>, <span>Visiting Fellow at the <a href="http://hrp.law.harvard.edu/" data-url="http://hrp.law.harvard.edu/">Human Rights Program, Harvard Law School</a>.<!--break--></span></p><p><span>The use of foreign precedents by Courts still remains a matter of great theoretical and practical importance. The doctrinal positions on the so- called “transjudicial communication” are divergent. Some authors criticise the phenomenon for introducing random and unjustifiable criteria of interpretation into a particular legal system while some others see it as an opportunity to enrich and legitimize the decision- making process at a jurisdictional level. We will explore those theoretical approaches in the specific context of the constant communication between the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter- American Court of Human Rights.</span></p><p></p><p><span><strong>Sponsors</strong>: <a href="http://hrp.law.harvard.edu/" data-url="http://hrp.law.harvard.edu/">Human Rights Program, Harvard Law School</a> and <a href="internal:/" data-url="http://rcc.harvard.edu/">Real Colegio Complutense</a></span></p><p><span><strong>Contact</strong>: <a href="mailto:///rcc@harvard.edu"> Kim Conant</a></span></p>
