ECHR (European Court of Human Rights)

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is an international court based in Strasbourg, France, established to enforce the European Convention on Human Rights. It allows individuals, groups, or states to bring cases against member countries for alleged violations of the rights outlined in the Convention, such as the right to a fair trial and freedom of expression. The court's judgments are binding on the countries involved, promoting accountability and the protection of human rights across Europe. The ECHR plays a crucial role in upholding justice and safeguarding fundamental freedoms throughout the continent.
