Join us for a talk with Clara Rauchegger (Faculty of Law) on using the European Charter of Human Rights as a yardstick for the domestic law of member states. The legal literature has devoted a lot of attention to the solution of conflicts between these fundamental rights catalogues. However, conflicts between EU and national human rights are extremely rare in practice. In the large majority of cases, they either co-exist or converge. This proposed paper will therefore offer a critical appraisal of the approach of the principal adjudicator of the Charter—the Court of Justice of the EU—to the co-existence and convergence of EU and national human rights. It will examine whether the interplay of these human rights catalogues ensures an effective protection of the rights of individuals.
