Court of Human Rights

The Court of Human Rights, formally known as the European Court of Human Rights, is a judicial body that ensures countries in Europe protect fundamental human rights. When individuals believe their rights—such as freedom of speech, privacy, or fair treatment—have been violated by their government, they can bring their case to this court after exhausting national legal options. The court reviews the case and can order countries to change their practices or provide remedies. Its goal is to uphold human rights and promote justice across its member states through fair and consistent legal judgments.
