Launching a New Project: AI and Human Rights – Your Input Needed!

  • Post category:Uncategorised

Dear friends and colleagues, Over the past months, we’ve seen how rapidly artificial intelligence is reshaping governance, public services, and influences human rights – more and more authorities, international organisations and researchers pay attention to this fact. Amongst the last interesting events – the International Criminal Court will co-host the event on AI ! At EADHC  we believe these developments call for the attention on how can human rights principles be effectively embedded "by design" into AI systems, especially at the local and municipal level? That’s why we are excited to announce that we are launching a new project at the intersection of AI and Law / Human Rights. The exact shape is still taking form - it could become: - a series of expert webinars and policy briefs, - a comparative study of AI use in local governance across Council of Europe member states, - practical guidelines for municipalities…

Resilient Communities: Legal Reform for Civil Self-Organization Under Martial Law

Project Summary: In response to the growing legal uncertainty surrounding the activities of local self-organization bodies (organy samoorganizatsii naselennia – OSNs) in Ukraine during wartime, our organization is launching a research and advocacy project aimed at adapting the previously developed Draft Law “On Bodies of Self-Organization of the Population” to the realities of martial law and the post-occupation context. This initiative builds on legal work initiated before the full-scale invasion of Ukraine and recognizes the new and complex challenges faced by civic actors operating under duress, including in temporarily occupied territories. Key Problem Addressed: In many occupied communities, informal and semi-formal OSNs have played a crucial role in ensuring day-to-day survival: distributing aid, maintaining order, and coordinating with remaining municipal services. However, after de-occupation, such actions have at times been mischaracterized as “collaboration with the enemy” due to the absence of a legal framework that distinguishes between civic duty under…
