María Elósegui Itxaso (born, 7 December 1957, San Sebastián) is a Spanish jurist, philosopher and Professor of Philosophy of Law at the Faculty of Law at the University of Zaragoza. She was appointed in January 2018 a judge at the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR).
Education
Maria Elósegui graduated with a Ph.D from the University of Navarra in 1987 and followed up on her studies with a second master in philosophy at the University of Glasgow in 1989.[1] Following this, she studied law at the University of Sain-Louis, Brussels, Belgium from where she graduated with a MSc in 1994.[1] She obtained a Doctor of Juridical Science from the University of Navarra in 2002.[1]
Professional career
Between 1982 and 1988 she taught philosophy in Bilbao, and from 1988 to 1989 she researched at the Glasgow University.[1] She became a Professor of Philosophy of Law at the University of Zaragossa in 1994 and lectured until 2018.[1] She was also assigned as a member of the European Commission against Racism and Intolerance (ECRI) between 2013 and 2017.[2] Since 2018, she has been the representative of Spain in the European Court of Human Rights,[3] succeeding Luis López Guerra.[4]
Controversies
In 2018, she dissented with the rest of the ruling judges at the ECHR and mentioned in her opinion that what the Pussy Riots have done, is not covered by liberty of expression, and would have deserved a punishment.[5] The Pussy Riots had performed a protest performance at the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour in Moscow in 2012 against the return of Vladimir Putin.[6]
Publications
During her career, she published numerous books concerning the rule of law, except the one about the Peine el Viento.[2]
Personal life
Elósegui is the daughter of engineer José María Elósegui and a sister to the film director and documentary filmmaker José María Elósegui, who in 2008 released the documentary about the Peine del Viento,[7] a well known sculpture in San Sebastian. Maria Elosegui also wrote a book about the sculpture to which her father collaborated as an engineer.[2] Her sister, Dr. Lucía Elósegui, is the transplant coordinator to the University Hospital of San Sebastian.[8] She is also a member of the Roman Catholic group Opus Dei.[9]
