The Council of Europe’s work in the field of human rights are now of significance across the globe. This course explores particular aspects of these innovative judicial and non-judicial standards and mechanisms of protection.
The Council of Europe has been able to achieve innovative systems of effective protection of human rights at a regional level. Its success in promoting respect for civil and political rights, first through the establishment and progressive development of an enforcement machinery under the European Convention on Human Rights and then through the entry into force of the European Convention for the Prevention of Torture or Inhuman and Degrading Treatment or Punishment, is without parallel.
