'Our Rights, Our Freedoms' Essay and Photography Competition
'Our Rights, Our Freedoms' Essay and Photography Competition
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights, the Council of Europe and ELSA International have launched a competition for law students in Europe.
Under the slogan ’Our Rights, Our Freedoms’, the competition - involving a writing and an artistic section – is designed to appraise the history and performance of the European Convention and Court of Human Rights.
Participants are invited to submit an essay, assessing achievements and shortcomings of the Strasbourg legal system, or a photo reportage showing the Human Rights Convention’s impact on European citizens’ day-to-day lives.
The competition was launched at the International Council Meeting of ELSA in Malta from 21 to 28 March and the award ceremony will take place in Strasbourg in October 2010.
