MADRID, June 25, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As highlighted by the academic
directors of the course Ramón Ruiz Ruiz, Professor of Philosophy of Law at the
University of Jaén, Juan Manuel de Faramiñán Gilbert, Emeritus Professor at the
University of Jaén, María Garzón, and Alessia Schiavon, respectively President
and Executive Director of the International Baltasar Garzón Foundation (FIBGAR),
this edition aims to provide a high-quality deepening and updating on the main
novelties adopted by the latest European legislature, with a practical emphasis
on human rights and sustainable development.
Sustainable development is a priority objective of the European Union's
policies, which has become a fundamental promoter of the SDGs through various
strategic initiatives.
In the latest legislature, significant steps have been taken, for example, with
the adoption of the first EU Directive on gender-based violence, as well as the
reform of the Directive on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings
and protecting its victims. Additionally, important advances have been promoted
concerning Goals 13 (climate action), 15 (life on land), and 16 through the
revised Directive on the protection of the environment through criminal law,
recently approved in February 2024, and the Directive on Corporate
Sustainability Due Diligence.
In 2024, significant progress has also been made with the approval of the anti-
SLAPP Directive, the Media Freedom Act, and the Digital Services Act, the
world's first regulation in the digital field establishing obligations for
digital platforms. Additionally, the European Parliament and the Council have
reached a provisional agreement on the anti-money laundering package, which
includes the so-called Sixth Directive, and have advanced discussions on a new
Directive to combat corruption.
All these topics will be addressed by professionals with extensive experience,
such as the professors from the University of Jaén, Ma Del Carmen Muñoz
Rodríguez, Esther Pomares Cintas, and Ignacio Benítez Ortu?zar; the lawyer and
communicator specializing in climate and human rights, Irene Rubiera de Felipe;
and the professor of Public International Law at Universitat Rovira i Virgili,
Maria Marquès Banqué.
Additionally, students will have the opportunity to learn from the experience of
professors from the University of Seville, María Libia Arenal Lora and Jesús
Ignacio Delgado Rojas; Juan Manuel de Faramiñán Fernández-Fígares, lawyer and
Doctor of Philosophy and Law; and Lisardo García Rodulfo, lawyer and member of
the Board of Directors of the Anti-Money Laundering Group of the Granada Bar
Association. The course will conclude with practical workshops led by Alessia
Schiavon.
