BOOK LAUNCH: Child Protection and the European Court of Human Rights

BOOK LAUNCH: Child Protection and the European Court of Human Rights
Join us for the launch of “Child Protection and the European Court of Human Rights: Lessons from Norway in the Development and Contestation of Children’s Rights” and a conversation with the editors Hege Stein Helland, Marit Skivenes & Siri Gloppen.
The book brings together leading scholars in law, political science, and social work to explore how the ECtHR shapes—and is shaped by—child protection litigation and mobilisation. Focusing on Norway, the country with the highest number of ECtHR child protection cases, the book sheds new light on the balance between parental rights, state authority, and children’s best interests.
When: Thursday, October 16, 2025, 14:00–15:00
Where: Babelstuen, Faculty of Humanities Library, University of Bergen
(Haakon Sheteligs plass 7, 5007 Bergen)
Looking forward to your enthusiasm for hearing and joining the talk!
