Book Launch: “The European Union and Human Rights” | C. Rizcallah

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, Professor Cecilia Rizcallah presented her latest monograph, The European Union and Human Rights, at the prestigious Egmont Palace. The event was co-organised with the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The evening featured an insightful discussion with Antoine Misonne, who introduced the event, followed by a stimulating exchange with Judge Emmanuelle Bribosia and Professor Antoine Bailleux (UCLouvain Saint-Louis Bruxelles).

This work is the culmination of five years of research, exploring the intersection of two critical pillars: the European Union’s legal framework and the protection of human rights. As Professor Rizcallah highlighted during the evening, the event was a unique opportunity to bring together a diverse audience—ranging from academia and diplomacy to the judiciary and legislative spheres. Fostering such cross-sectoral dialogue is essential for the collective defense of human rights and the rule of law.

For those interested, the book is available in Open Access and can be ordered via the button below.
