Professor Susana Sanz trains Ibero-American judges in the tenth edition of the refresher course at the Università degli Studi of Perugia

What systems for the protection of human rights and the rule of law exist on the European continent? What are the requirements to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights? Are these requirements very different from those required by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights? What type of protection does the European Social Charter provide? Why did the founding treaties of the current EU not provide for the protection of human rights or democratic values? What are the main attacks on judicial independence in European countries and those of Latin America? And freedom of the press? And to the action of NGOs?

These are some of the issues that were discussed in the module taught by Professor Susana Sanz Caballero to judges and magistrates from Mexico and Guatemala at the headquarters of the Faculty of Giurisprudenza of the Univesità degli Studi of Perugia on June 18 and 19, 2024.
