Some 40 lawyers from different countries, members of the Council of Europe Network of specialised lawyers and NGOs providing legal assistance to victims of trafficking in human beings, joined a webinar on 13 March 2025 to discuss recent developments in the European Court of Human Rights case-law on trafficking in human beings.
Katarina Trnkova, Lawyer at the Registry of the Court, presented three new judgments: B.B. v. Slovakia, I.C. v. the Republic of Moldova and F.M. and Others v. Russia. Professor Parosha Chandran, who was the applicant’s lawyer in the B.B. v. Slovakia case, made an additional presentation on that case.
Further, Anders-Molander Skavlan, Lawyer at the Council of Europe Department for the Execution of Judgments of the Court, explained how lawyers and NGOs can submit communications to the Committee of Ministers with regard to the execution of judgments.
Since its establishment in 2016, the Network has served as a platform for exchanging good practices, facilitating cross-border co-operation among lawyers, and supporting strategic litigation initiatives.
