The Research Project "Theories of Justice and Global Law of Human Rights (JUSGLOBAL)" is organizing a workshop for doctoral researchers on November 16 and 17, 2022, at Carlos III University of Madrid. The purpose is to analyze the different theories of justice underlying the decisions made by international human rights protection bodies. The judicialization of conflicts originating from the application of norms, measures, or practices that discriminate based on gender has resulted in abundant international jurisprudence, which seeks to define the scope of obligations imposed on States by International Human Rights Law (IHRL). However, international human rights protection bodies have sometimes provided a fragmented response to the cases they have handled. This fragmentation largely stems from the fact that international human rights courts (mainly, the European Court of Human Rights -ECtHR- and the Inter-American Court of Human Rights -IACtHR-) and UN treaty bodies (hereinafter, the Committees) have reached different solutions in similar or, in some cases, nearly identical cases.
