    TCC #21 Nils Muižnieks

    Nils Muižnieks is the Regional Director for Europe at Amnesty International and a previous Commissioner for Human Rights at the Council of Europe. We meet at a politically sensitive climate, given the invasion. Despite his broad range of interests, Nils with lightness can link together economics, security, human rights, politics, history, freedom of expression, and trafficking. His witty responses and personal background contribute to the value of the latest discussion, so do listen to it to learn about minority rights, inclusion, international order, refugees, as well as upcoming challenges for Europe.

    TCC #19 Mārtiņš Mits

    Mārtiņš Mits, Judge at the European Court of Human Rights located in Strasbourg, France, Visiting Associate Professor at RGSL, previous Prorector at RGSL. In this episode, he shared some very valuable insights on the inner procedures of the Court and the hierarchy of how cases are reviewed and dealt with. We also touched upon the emotionality and objectivity of the judge’s work. Mārtiņš also shared in which cases he has declined cases in the past. As of the end of 2021, the Chat Chamber podcast by RGSL experienced some minor twist on the 19th episode - our dear beloved host Kristofers Kalniņš-Liberis was replaced by his dear coursemate Markuss Kozlinskis who is also a student of 3rd year in the Law & Diplomacy program.
