Conference: The Derogation from the ECHR under Contemporary Situations of Emergency

On May 4, 2017, the Institute of International Law and International Relations at the Karl-Franzens-Universität Graz will hold a conference on "The Derogation from the ECHR under Contemporary Situations of Emergency." The program is here. Here's the idea:

The conference will examine current practices of derogation from the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) by Ukraine, France and Turkey as well as the United Kingdom’s proposal to derogate from the ECHR in foreign military operations. Marko Milanovic (University of Nottingham) will deliver a keynote speech and Raphaël Comte (Rapporteur of the Council of Europe) will provide a report on ‘State of emergency: proportionality issues concerning derogations under Article 15 of the ECHR’.
