Dear All,
I am forwarding the below from Ralph Gibson, Hon Secretary of the SCRSS about a talk which might be of interest to you:
“I am delighted to announce the SCRSS’s first online event. The Society’s President Professor Bill Bowring will give a talk on Russia and the European Convention on Human Rights on Wed 30 Sep, starting at 7pm.
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the ECHR. Russia has been a member of the Council of Europe for 25 years, and of the ECHR for 22 years. Professor Bowring discusses how this has been possible, and whether the close and mostly positive relationship between Russia and the Council of Europe and ECHR is about to end.
The event will be hosted using the Zoom online conferencing app. To ease administration, we are using the Eventbrite app to take bookings. The event is free, but there is a donation option when registering. Here is the link to the event: Prof Bill Bowring on Russia & the ECHR . Please sign up for the event yourself and spread the word amongst friends and colleagues. Do please report any issues or questions – this will help improve the creation of future events. When you sign up via Eventbrite (click on the green “Register” box), you should receive an initial confirmation from Eventbrite, and then further reminders two days, two hours and ten minutes before the event starts. This is all very new to me, the Hon. Secretary, so your feedback will be invaluable! We hope this will be the first of a series of online talks.
Regards
Ralph
