CELS Lunchtime Seminar: 'Defending the Rule of Law in the EU, a trip to the Legal Metaverse?'

Speaker: Professor Carlos Moreiro González, University Carlos III, Madrid Biography: Professor Carlos Moreiro González is Chair in International Law at the University Carlos III in Madrid and Jean Monnet Chair in EU Law. Abstract: This talk will focus on some paradoxical legal issues that entail the implementation of Articles 2 and 7 of the TEU. Both provisions lack, in my view, the normative standards which are necessary to preserve the Rule of Law and the Democratic Principle in the EU. In addition, the current context of the international crisis created by the Criminal Attack of the Russian Federation to Ukraine has given a unique role to the Eastern European States which may contribute to dilute the rulings of the CJEU regarding some breaches of the Rule of Law by both the Polish and the Hungarian Government.

Om Podcasten

The Centre for European Legal Studies (CELS) at the Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge, runs a series of lunchtime seminars during the Michaelmas and Lent Terms. These seminars provide a platform for the presentation of new ideas by leading scholars from inside and outside the University. The lunchtime seminars address topical issues of European Union Law and Comparative Law, with a view to using collective debate as a forum for developing and disseminating ideas, and producing high quality research publications which contribute to an understanding of major issues in the European Union. There is a close link between the CELS Lunchtime Seminar series and the Cambridge Yearbook of European Legal Studies (CYELS). Papers generated from most of these seminars are published as articles in the CYELS. Video recordings of the seminars are made available via podcast, and videos on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLy4oXRK6xgzGUiTnOrTDiD0SfIbGj2W-x).
