On the occasion of its 35th anniversary, the Venice Commission, in co-operation with the International Association of Constitutional Law (IACL), and with the support of the Veneto Regional Council, organised the international conference “Lessons Learned and Learning Lessons: The Venice Commission’s Experience in Elaborating Transnationally Valid Constitutional Standards”, which took place in Palazzo Ferro Fini, Venice, on 12 March 2025, in a hybrid format.
The conference brought together members of the Venice Commission, representatives of the Council of Europe, and experts of the International Association of Constitutional Law (IACL). More than 80 participants from 30 countries attended the event in person or followed it on-line. The conference was composed of three sessions focusing on such issues as constitutional courts and their role in the system of checks and balances, the fight against corruption, and rule of law standards, and challenges to the rule of law in the process of reforms of the judiciary.
