Human Rights Day

On the occasion of Human Rights Day, the Council of Europe has published an updated and expanded version of its interactive website highlighting the Impact of the European Convention on Human Rights.

The website http://www.coe.int/echr provides around 175 examples of judgments from the European Court of Human Rights which, following their implementation by member states, have helped bring about significant positive changes for the applicants involved and for society more broadly.

The updated version of the site includes a brand new section on Human rights and health, alongside recently-added sections on Freedom from violence against women and Human rights and the environment, as well as a selection of new case studies, videos and animations.
