The European Convention on Human Rights, an international treaty drawn up within the Council of Europe, was opened for signature in Rome in 1950. On 1 June 2010 it was amended by Protocol No. 14, whose aim is to guarantee the long-term efficiency of the Court by optimizing the filtering and processing of applications.Protocol No. 16 to the Convention allows the highest courts and tribunals of a State Party to request the Court to give advisory opinions on questions of principle relating to the interpretation or application of the rights and freedoms defined in the Convention. Protocol No. 16 came into force on 1 August 2018 in respect of the States which have signed and ratified it. © Council of Europe, September 2019

Migration to Europe is an ancient and wide phenomenon which has accelerated in speed and scale in recent times. Although migrants are not expressly mentioned in the European Convention on Human Rights, they, as every human being, are entitled to human rights protection. Migrants are people who move from their country of usual residence or nationality to another country. A migrant may move for economic or educational reasons, to flee from natural disasters caused by climate change or to escape persecution, human rights abuses, threats to life or physical integrity, war and civil unrest. This handbook is intended as a tool for legal practitioners (lawyers, judges, public officials, human rights defenders) to better understand the European human rights of migrants and the means to claim their respect or implementation at the national and international levels. © Council of Europe, February 2013 - Yannis Ktistakis

This handbook examines the scope and content of freedom of thought, conscience and religion as guaranteed in particular by Article 9 of the European Convention on Human Rights and as interpreted by the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (“the Strasbourg Court”) and by the former European Commission on Human Rights (“the Commission”). However, issues concerning conscience and belief may arise elsewhere in the treaty, and brief reference to certain related guarantees that have some particular impact upon freedom of thought, conscience and religion has been considered necessary. © Council of Europe, 2012 - Jim Murdoch

The European Convention on Human Rights (“the Convention”) was signed on 4 November 1950 in Rome. In the context of effective political democracy and respect for human rights mentioned in the Preamble to the Convention, freedom of expression is not only important in its own right, but also it plays a central part in the protection of other rights under the Convention. Without abroad guarantee of the right to freedom of expression protected by independent and impartial courts, there is no free country, there is no democracy. © Council of Europe, 2001, 2004 - Monica Macovei

This Handbook deals with the right to life, as guaranteed by Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR or “the Convention”), and with the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights (“the Court”) under that article.  Cases relating to one issue are furthermore often brought under a variety of articles – as we shall note with regard to abortion and suicide in particular – and in such instances, the Court’s approach can only be understood by reference to its rulings on all the articles involved. Also important is the fact that the Convention usually does not impose rigid requirements on States. © Council of Europe, 2006

In January 2010, the European Court of Human Rights and the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights decided to cooperate on the preparation of a handbook on European case law concerning non-discrimination. We are now pleased to present an updated version of this handbook, which contains updated examples of relevant case law and an improved structure. This handbook is designed to assist legal practitioners who are not specialized in the field of non-discrimination law, serving as an introduction to key issues involved. It is intended for lawyers, judges, prosecutors, social workers and persons who work with national authorities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and other bodies that may be confronted with legal questions relating to issues of discrimination.

In order to face current European challenges of the refugee crisis, as well as issues related to inclusion, acceptance, tolerance, respect and the rise of extremism, we designed this instrument to provide a face and voice to sucessful stories of inclusion of young refugees in Europe.
