Research Projects
The primary aim of the project is to contribute to the development of a human rights based framework for water governance pertaining to women's rights as water users and decision makers.
The project will study the interaction between national courts and the European Court of Human Rights. The subsidiary nature of the European Court of Human Rights, on one hand, and the fundamental role of national authorities in protecting human rights, on the other hand, were stressed in the Interlaken Declaration, adopted by member states of the Council of Europe at the High Level Conference on the Future of the European Court of Human Rights on 19 February 2010.
This project will focus on new regulations developed in order to control risk that may challenge fundamental rights.
