  abstract = {The European Union ratified the Council of Europe Framework Convention on Artificial Intelligence on 15 May 2026, following European Parliament approval of the conclusion on 11 March 2026. The Convention entered into force on 1 November 2025 and is the first binding international AI treaty. It applies across public and private sectors, with education explicitly within scope, and requires parties to ensure AI lifecycle activities are consistent with human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law. For European animation education, it represents the international treaty layer that sits above the EU AI Act.},
