A two-day virtual roundtable discussion was held on 26 and 27 August 2025, bringing together members of the Registry of the ECHR, the African Court on Human and Peoples’ Rights, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, the ECOWAS Court of Justice, and the East African Court of Justice.

Registrars and members of the Registry discussed issues of common interest and shared experiences on topics related to the work of the Courts.

These meetings enhance judicial dialogue at a technical level and strengthen cooperation among the Courts, while allowing for sharing of experience.

In 2018, the ECHR, together with the African Court of Human and Peoples’ Rights and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights, adopted the San José Declaration and established a Permanent Forum of Institutional Dialogue. These courts also publish a Joint Law Report, covering the leading case law of the preceding year.
