The conference was organized by the Bynkershoek Research Center on Reproductive Rights CONFERENCE PAPERS for multi-disciplinary exploration of the above questions, seeking clarity on the scope of birthing women’s human rights to authority, support and choice in childbirth. / HUMAN RIGHTS IN In December, 2010, the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) issued the fi rst holding of a high human rights tribunal addressing the legal authority of CHILDBIRTH birthing women as a human rights issue. In the case of Ternovszky v. Hungary, the ECtHR stated that “(…) the right concerning the decision to become a parent includes the right of choosing the circumstances of becoming a parent. The Court is satisfi ed that the circumstances of giving birth incontestably form part of one’s private life for the purposes of [Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights],” and imposed positive obligations on member states for the protection of these rights. The two-day conference was designed to unpack the theoretical and practical signifi cance of the Ternovszky holding. The fi rst day will focus on the international and fundamental human rights issues at stake. The second day will focus on the Dutch birth system, and the role of home and hospital birth in its past, present and future. On both days, four panels of multi-disciplinary experts will systematically address the science, ethics, and professional issues at stake in legal questions around childbirth. This Bynkershoek collection of Conference Papers will assist participants in the INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE conference understand the presentations of the panelists and to prepare for OF JURISTS, MIDWIVES & robust discussion, and might be of interest to other audiences concerned with this topic.

It begins in 1783 during the last days of British rule and ends with the first generation of news websites. Old yellowed newspapers, rolls of microfilm, and archived web pages not only preserve stories about the history of Florida and the world, but they also give us insight into the people who have worked for the state’s newspapers. This chronology only scratches the surface of a very long and complex story, but hopefully it will serve as a useful reference tool for researchers and journalism historians.
