Abstract The States Parties to the European Convention on Human Rights have adopted five declarations on the future of the European Court of Human Rights since 2010. These declarations identified problems surrounding the Convention system and proposed reform measures. This article examines what has become of the proposals aiming to reform the Court’s functioning, which will lead to insight into the problems surrounding the system, the type of solutions proposed and whether the declarations have led to change. The article also discusses the background to the conferences and characterises the focus of each declaration. The conclusion is that most proposals have not been implemented, mainly due to principled or practical opposition of the Court, and that the implemented proposals have not led to profound change. The influence of the declarations should not be overstated therefore, although they can be of political significance by offering support to or criticising the Court.

Insight Into

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and will have, profound effects on adult education (Boeren, Roumell & Roessger, 2020; Kapplinger & Lichte, 2020) and online learning practices. The impact was unprecedented and led to the largest and quickest transformation of pedagogic practice ever seen in contemporary universities (Brammer & Clark, 2020). Although it is too soon for a full assessment, the first step is to gain insight into an understanding of the macro trends taking shape inside and outside the walls of institutions and then explore how these trends may affect the future. Against this background, a question arises: How is the COVID-19 pandemic shaping the future of adult online learning in higher education? Drawing on adult education and higher education scholarly and practitioner literature published over the last year, the purpose of this paper is threefold: (i) in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, to identify and analyze emerging trends that could shape the future of adult online education in higher education, (ii) to analyze these trends over a longer time span in the literature, and (iii) to explore the possible futures of adult education and online learning in higher education.
