In 2021, students
from the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty
of Law once again took part in francophone competition in
European Convention on Human Rights
law (Concours Européen des Droits de
l’Homme René Cassin). The key topic
of this year’s competition case, the idea for which was based on real events, were children’s rights. In addition to the key topic, the case also touched upon other interesting subjects of the European Convention on Human Rights
law, such as the issue of the Court’s jurisdiction ratione temporis and the na- ture
of statutes of limitation in criminal law. The team of the Faculty of Law accomplished great achievement as it
placed 14th in competition of over 80 (predominantly French) teams.
Key words: Concours Européen des
Droits de l’Homme René Cassin, human rights law, European Convention on Human Rights, children’s rights, jurisdiction ratione temporis, statutes
of limitation, competition.
