DESCRIPTION:Sir Tim\, former judge in respect of the United Kingdom on the
  European Court of Human Rights (2016-2025)\, will reflect on the Court’
 s recent case-law on and its overall approach to the situation of refugees
 \, and migrants more generally\, as he experienced it during his time at t
 he Court\, including during his four years as a duty judge deciding on app
 lication for interim measures. He will situate these reflections in the in
 creasing criticism – whether well-founded or not – and calls for “re
 form” of the Court’s approach – in particular to Articles 3 and 8 EC
 HR - “in the context of the contemporary challenges posed both by irregu
 lar migration and by the situation of foreigners convicted of serious offe
 nces\, taking duly into account in particular governments’ fundamental r
 esponsibility to ensure national security and public safety”. This is pa
 rticularly timely as\, by the time of this event\, these calls will most l
 ikely have culminated (at least for the time being) in the adoption of a p
 olitical declaration on this topic at a Ministerial conference\, represent
 ing all 46 States Parties to the Convention\, to be held in Chișinău on1
 4-15 May 2026.
