Book Launch: 'The EU's Human Rights Responsibility Gap'
Can the EU be held legally responsible for its contributions to human rights harms in its Integrated Border Management policy? Or do systemic legal design flaws in the EU’s human rights responsibility regime give rise to a significant responsibility gap?

Seminar on International Law and Cultural Heritage with prof. Catharine Titi
On Tuesday the 20th of February at 15h (until 17h30) (Meeting Room Liberty Campus Aula UGent), GRILI will hold a seminar with prof. Catharine Titi, author of the book "The Parthenon Marbles and International Law"? During the seminar Catharine will present her new book and enter into discussion with some of our own (Belgian) colleagues: Amber Gardeyn (Legal History Institute, UGent) and Mathias Desmet (IRCP, Ugent) from our own faculty and Emma Dhondt (Leuven Centre for Global Governance Studies, KU Leuven).
