The Doctoral Program of International Studies at the ELTE Faculty of Social Sciences, together with the Civil Society, Human Rights, and Regime Change in Central and Eastern Europe (CEEPUS) Network and the Department of Human Rights and Politics, warmly invite you to a public lecture by Natalia Cwicinskaja (Department of International Law and International Organizations, Faculty of Law and Administration, Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznań, Poland).

The lecture, entitled Citizenship and Responsibility in Unrecognized Territorial Entities: An International Law Perspective, examines how international law approaches questions of citizenship, jurisdiction, and responsibility in contested and unrecognized territories. Particular attention is given to situations in which multiple forms of citizenship coexist, including local citizenship issued by de facto authorities, the citizenship of the parent state, and that of an external supporting state. The lecture analyzes how responsibility for human rights protection is allocated—or fragmented—among these actors, with reference to the case law of the European Court of Human Rights and to international law more broadly.
