Legal Protection of Vulnerable Adults in Central and Eastern Europe
28. November 2023, 16:00 - 19:00
Event Navigation
The Interdisciplinary Association of Comparative and Private International Law (IACPIL) is hosting a conference on the Legal Protection of Vulnerable Adults in Central and Eastern Europe.
The aging population and the rise of age-related diseases result in the urgent need to address the legal issues surrounding vulnerable adults. Beyond the challenges posed by the aging demographic, other vulnerable groups also warrant legal protection. Conducting a comparative analysis of the prevailing legal frameworks for protecting vulnerable adults becomes imperative to gain insights into effective solutions and identify areas requiring further attention.
This conference will therefore explore the protection of vulnerable adults in Central and Eastern Europe including cross-border issues. Masha Antokolskaia and Bea Verschraegen, renowned experts in the fields of comparative and private international law, will shed light on the complexities surrounding the protection of vulnerable adults.
