📣 Coming soon at SPUI25: Wiebe Hommes shines a new light on the pushback against European human rights. Join us at SPUI25 on 10 November
​​The Convention and the Kingdom
The European Convention on Human Rights is nowadays one of the most prominent human rights treaties. In particular in the Netherlands, it has become the main legal tool for fundamental rights protection. As such, it has also found itself in the spotlight: pushback has developed against its perceived excessive constraining of political options and the European Court is being criticized for interference with domestic sensitivities.

Prof @eckes-uva.bsky.social latest paper explores how European courts are increasingly treating climate mitigation duties as rights-based obligations as opposed to policy choices. They are giving climate action a ‘constitutional dimension’. @mdpiopenaccess.bsky.social

If you're pragmatic enough, you can strike a deal with anybody’, says Piotr Krajewski. That's a good thing, because trade alliances are beginning to shift 🤝 https://bit.ly/4no4cZf
‘Trump’s tariffs will steer the EU to more pragmatic deals’
Trump’s tariffs will impact more than just the price of consumer goods. Trade alliances are beginning to shift. ‘If you're pragmatic enough, you can strike a deal with anybody’, says Piotr Krajewski. ‘But the EU’s dealmaking must remain transparent,’ he adds. Krajewski wrote his thesis on power dynamics in the EU’s trade policy.

‘De invoerheffingen van Trump leiden tot meer pragmatische EU-deals’
De invoerheffingen van Trump hebben niet alleen gevolgen voor de prijzen van producten. Ook handelsallianties veranderen. ‘Maar als je pragmatisch genoeg bent, kun je met iedereen een deal sluiten’, zegt Piotr Krajewski. ‘De EU moet alleen wel transparant blijven in haar onderhandelingen’, voegt hij eraan toe. Krajewski promoveerde op zijn onderzoek naar de machtsverhoudingen in het handelsbeleid van de EU.
