The European Committee for the Prevention of Torture and the European Court of Human Rights in collaboration with the Eberhard Karls University Tübingen are hosting an international seminar on solitary confinement in prisons.
The event will bring together leading experts in penal policy, human rights law, and criminology to examine the use of isolation measures through the dual lens of ECtHR jurisprudence and CPT standards – two complementary yet distinct frameworks that together define the European normative architecture on detention.
The substantive programme features keynote presentations and a panel discussion.
This event offers a rare opportunity for academics, legal practitioners, and policymakers to engage with current developments at the intersection of monitoring and adjudication in the field of torture prevention.
Attendance is open to all interested participants.
