SUMMARY:The Role of the Council of Europe n the Pursuit of Peace\, Justice and Accountability (Dublin European Law Institute)
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, 27 February 2025\, the Dublin European Law Institute will host a conference on The Role of the Council of Europe in the Pursuit of Peace\, Justice and Accountability in Ukraine. It has been three years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine\, a major escalation in a war that began in 2014. Though the bitter conflict still continues with much uncertainty about the future\, there is increasing international focus on how to ensure justice as well as peace in Ukraine. At the Reykjavik Summit of Heads of State and Government in May 2023\, Council of Europe Member States stressed that without accountability\, there can be no lasting peace. Furthermore\, Member States emphasised their resolve to stand united around the values of human rights\, democracy and the rule of law in face of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. \nUkraine is a key priority for the Council of Europe and much work has been done\, including the establishment of a Register of Damage and progress towards developing an International  Claims Commission. However\, many questions remain about the potential to establish a Special Tribunal for the crime of aggression\, the effectiveness of these various bodies in establishing justice\, as well as the relationship between them and the existing statutory\, judicial and other mechanisms within the Council of Europe framework\, including the European Court of Human Rights. The Conference will be an opportunity to consider all of these issues in more detail. \nView the full event programme here. \nRegister to attend. \n(Online and in person)

SUMMARY:Chicanery with Digital Immigration System in Brexit Britain (North Herts For Europe)
DESCRIPTION:Online event with Cosi Doerfel-Hill (the3million). \n“EU citizens in the UK who have been here since before 1989 and opted for getting a biometric residence permit (BRP) under the Windrush scheme instead of EUSS are now having to apply for an eVisa. They\, and the almost 4 million migrants who have been issued BRPs since 2008\, plus everyone who was given status before 2008\, will have to prove their rights to work and rent via an online system as of 1 January 2025. Even refugees who were granted asylum as recently as last month have to register online again. The Home Office is currently redrafting the code of practice and introducing penalties for not keeping the eVisa (online digital status) updated\, but it is not publicising this to anyone\, not even the grant-funded organisations helping people setting up eVisa accounts right now.” \n  \n  \nMore details and registration here.
