CONFERENCE REPORT
The Spring Conference in Brussels started on Friday 3 May with a reception at the BELvue Museum of Belgian history, a beautiful and historical location. Over a hundred delegates had the opportunity to meet new colleagues and catch up with old friends. Vincent Asselineau, chair of the ECBA, welcomed everyone as warmly as ever. The speech of the Chairman of the Brussels French Bar Association, Adv. Emmanuel Plasschaert, made all delegates feel very welcome in the Belgian capital.
The next morning, Saturday 4 May, the conference proceeded in the Hall des Marbres of the Université Libre de Bruxelles/ULB.
Vincent Asselineau opened with a warm welcome and thanked our Belgian colleagues for their hospitality. There were over 120 delegates in Brussels - this conference was a great success.
After a short introduction by our Chair, the floor was given to Alexis Anagnostakis, ECBA Human Rights Officer, to introduce the Scott Crosby Human Rights Award 2023. This moment was one of the highlights of the conference, a moment that underscored the importance of recognising individuals who have made indelible marks on the global stage. The son and daughter of Scott Crosby joined the occasion. The award this year rewarded the two-following women for their amazing work on the field:
- Françoise Tulkens, former Judge and Vice-President of the ECHR, Belgium; and
- Nancy Hollander, defence lawyer, USA
