Registration is now open for the summer course in Torres on EU Law
and SDGs
As highlighted by the academic directors of the course Ramón Ruiz
Ruiz, Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Jaén,
Juan Manuel de Faramiñán Gilbert, Emeritus Professor at the
University of Jaén, María Garzón, and Alessia Schiavon,
respectively President and Executive Director of the International
Baltasar Garzón Foundation (FIBGAR), this edition aims to provide a
high-quality deepening and updating on
the main novelties
adopted by the latest European legislature, with a
practical emphasis on human rights and sustainable development.
Sustainable development is a priority objective
of the European Union's policies, which has become
a fundamental promoter of the SDGs through various strategic
initiatives.
In the latest legislature, significant steps
have been taken, for example, with the adoption of the
first EU Directive on gender-based violence, as well as
the reform of the Directive on preventing and combating
trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims.
Additionally, important advances have been promoted concerning
Goals 13 (climate action), 15 (life on land), and 16 through
the revised Directive on the protection of the environment
through criminal law, recently approved in February 2024,
and the Directive on Corporate Sustainability Due
Diligence.
In 2024, significant progress has also been made
with the approval of the anti-SLAPP Directive, the
Media Freedom Act, and the Digital Services Act,
the world's first regulation in the digital field establishing
obligations for digital platforms. Additionally, the European
Parliament and the Council have reached a provisional agreement on
the anti-money laundering package, which includes the so-called
Sixth Directive, and have advanced discussions on
a new Directive to combat corruption.
All these topics will be addressed by
professionals with extensive experience, such as
the professors from the University of Jaén, Ma Del Carmen Muñoz
Rodríguez, Esther Pomares Cintas, and Ignacio Benítez Ortúzar; the
lawyer and communicator specializing in climate and human rights,
Irene Rubiera de Felipe; and the professor of Public International
Law at Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Maria Marquès Banqué.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity
to learn from the experience of professors from the University of
Seville, María Libia Arenal Lora and Jesús Ignacio Delgado Rojas;
Juan Manuel de Faramiñán Fernández-Fígares, lawyer and Doctor of
Philosophy and Law; and Lisardo García Rodulfo, lawyer and member
of the Board of Directors of the Anti-Money Laundering Group of the
Granada Bar Association. The course will conclude with
practical workshops led by Alessia Schiavon.
The program can be downloaded here.
The initiative is intended for students in legal
or related fields, public officials, and professionals from various
disciplines who need to stay updated on European Union affairs and
are interested in gaining more tools for understanding and
addressing current issues related to human rights.
