Organization: Ghent University, Vrije Universiteit Brussels, Antwerp University, Hasselt University
Categories: Miscellaneous
Event Date: 2025-11-19 to 2025-11-21 Abstract Due: 2025-04-20

The Thicker Notions of Human Rights Accountabilities Conference revisits the questions of what qualifies as a human rights violation, who holds human rights duties and how to actually deliver human rights accountability in the context of pressing and complex challenges.  It will be hosted by the Future Proofing Human Rights research project in Brussels, Belgium from 19-21 November 2025.

We are inviting contributions that seek to reconstruct the notion of human rights accountability, divided across five themes: Change, Knowing, Duties, Harm, and Remedy. We welcome contributions from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, including but not limited to law, socio-legal perspectives, criminology, and political science. Abstracts should be submitted by 20 April 2025.
