Notas del episodio
Welcome to episode 28 of the Blackstone Chambers Litigation Podcast: Litigating War - Ukraine v Russia 2025.
This session followed the European Court of Human Rights Grand Chamber judgment of 9 July 2025 in which the Grand Chamber revisited its case law on jurisdiction and held Russia responsible for “an unprecedented and flagrant attack on the fundamental values of the Council of Europe” and for widespread violations of the Convention across Ukraine dating back to 2014 and embracing all aspects of the full-scale invasion launched in February 2022. The judgment has been described by a former President of the Court as the greatest in the 65 year history of the Court.
The session was chaired by Tim Otty KC, leading counsel for Ukraine, with speakers including Tom Richards KC, Naina Patel KC, Jason Pobjoy KC, George Molyneaux and Isabel Buchanan, all of whom were also part of Ukraine’s counsel team.
