Laboratory’s research fellow Yury Rovnov examining the changing trends in how national courts within and across legal systems assess climate actions in tort.The polycentric nature of climate policy, which had proven fatal to plaintiffs’ earlier cases in common law jurisdictions, has rarely struck judges in continental Europe as a particularly effective defence.

Roman Abrashin, a research intern at the Laboratory of International Justice, has published his article, “Balancing between progress and regress: compliance with the decisions of the UN human rights treaty-based bodies in the Russian Federation”, in the July 2026 issue of the HSE University Journal of International Law.
