This event co-organised with FIDH and SOMO aims to provide a detailed overview of the latest
developments in the field of BHR regulation. The first part of the
afternoon will be dedicated to a comparative review of some national
developments in BHR regulation. The speakers have been asked to focus
their presentations (max 10 minutes) on outlining the recent (and
sometimes future) changes in the various regulatory models introduced by
specific European states. They will also discuss the (expected) effects
of the different regulatory models based on comparative analyses and
empirical data gathered so far.
The second part of the afternoon will then focus on discussing the
latest draft of the proposed binding treaty on BHR. The speakers have
been asked to prepare short presentations (max 10 minutes) on the
strengths and weaknesses of the current draft (with an eye on the
changes introduced with regard to the Zero draft). The presentations
will be followed by open exchanges with the participants on the various
points raised (including concrete proposals for improvement).
