Protocols of the European Convention on Human Rights

The Protocols of the European Convention on Human Rights are additional agreements that expand on the rights guaranteed by the main Convention. They specify and enhance protections such as the right to education, the abolition of the death penalty, and protections against discrimination. These Protocols are legally binding for the countries that ratify them, ensuring they uphold and implement these specific human rights standards. Together, they form a comprehensive framework aimed at safeguarding fundamental freedoms and promoting human dignity across European countries.
