Human Rights Court

The Human Rights Court, often referring to institutions like the European Court of Human Rights, is a judicial body that protects individuals' rights and freedoms as outlined in international human rights treaties. When someone believes their rights have been violated by a state, they can bring their case to this court after exhausting local legal options. The court reviews the evidence and makes binding decisions to ensure compliance with human rights standards, promoting justice and accountability in member countries. Its aim is to uphold human dignity, prevent abuses, and provide a legal remedy for victims.
