Five New Judges Elected to the Court

This week the Parliamentary Assembly elected five new judges to serve on the European Court of Human Rights, in respect of Finland, Austria, Ireland, Andorra, and Liechtenstein. This will mean a renewal of part of the Court, but also a loss of experience. Especially the stepping back of Josep Casadevall (Andorra), one of the Court's vice-presidents and serving on the Court since 1996(!), will be felt.

The new judges (three women, two men) are (links to full press release and CV for each person included): 

* Pauliine Koskelo, judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Finland

* Gabriele Kucsko-Stadlmayer, judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Austria

* PerePastor Vilanova, judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Andorra

* Carlo Ranzoni, judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Liechtenstein

* Síofra O’Leary, judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Ireland.

·    Good luck to all of them when taking up their new positions in the coming year!
