“Human Rights under Pressure – Ethics, Law, and Politics” is an international, interdisciplinary doctoral and post-doctoral study, research training group under the joint auspices of Freie Universität Berlin and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
The European Court of Human Rights and associated Convention has long been considered one of the crown jewels of European integration. A common court and code for more than 800 million Europeans, the Court was in the post-Cold War period key to the democratization of Europe. Recent years have however seen a growing critique of the Court, both in new and old member states. Split into two parts, this presentation outlines first the how the Court became the de facto supreme court of human rights in Europe and, secondly, how it has come under repeated attack countries as different as the United Kingdom and Russia. It finishes with the most recent transformations, notably the Copenhagen Declaration adopted earlier this year.
Mikael Rask Madsen is a professor of European Law and Integration at the Faculty of Law, University of Copenhagen, and the founder and director of iCourts, the Danish National Research Foundation's Centre of Excellence for International Courts. His research interests include the globalization of law and the legal profession and its effects on new forms of institutions such as international courts.
This event was co-hosted with "Kolleg-Forschungsgruppe: The International Rule of Law - Rise or Decline?"

Congratulations to Dr. Rawia Aburabia, a Minerva Center for Human Rights/HR-UP Doctoral Alumna: One of גלובס - Globes Magazine's "40 under 40" most promising young leaders in Israel!
Dr. Rawia Aburabia received her PhD from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem as part of Minerva Center's joint interdisciplinary program with Freie Universität Berlin, Human Rights Under Pressure. Her dissertation dealt with the personal status laws of Palestinian Bedouin women in Israel.
In her interview, Rawia explains her choice to fight for Bedouin women’s rights: “As a Bedouin woman who has had all the opportunities and conditions to succeed - in a society where women are mostly expected to get married and have children - I feel a moral obligation to bring the issue to the forefront of the academic stage and to repair the legal transparency that Bedouin women suffer from”.
