Professor Aoife Nolan re-elected to lead European Committee of Social Rights
Human rights expert Professor Aoife Nolan has been re-elected as president of the European Committee of Social Rights (ECSR).
The ECSR is the monitoring body of the European Social Charter. It is composed of 15 independent, impartial members elected by the Council of Europe’s Committee of Ministers for a period of six years, renewable once.
Professor Nolan, a professor of international human rights law at the University of Nottingham and director of the university’s Human Rights Law Centre (HLRC), became president in January 2023 and was this week re-elected for a further two-year term.
She has served on the committee since 2017 and was previously vice-president from 2021 until 2023.
The new bureau elected at the committee’s plenary session in Strasbourg also includes Tatiana Puiu and George Theodosis as vice-presidents and Kristïne Dupate as general rapporteur.
