About this event
Cities are places where people experience human rights violations collectively. Disputes arising from such experiences are increasingly percolating into the international legal arena. Focusing on decisions of international and regional human rights tribunals in matters concerning multiple individuals bound together by urban residence, this article considers how the urban condition is beginning to transform conceptions of victimhood, conventional understandings of individual and collective rights, and reparations in international human rights law.
Panellists
Speaker: Prof Marius Pieterse (University of the Witwatersand)
Commentator: Elena De Nictolis (Luiss University)
Chair: Prof Virginia Mantouvalou (UCL Laws)
This event was co-organised by the Institute for Human Rights and the Global Centre for Democratic Constitutionalism.
