Regional Human Rights Courts

Regional Human Rights Courts are specialized courts established within specific regions or groups of countries to protect individuals' human rights. They provide a legal forum for people to seek justice if their rights are violated by governments or other entities, beyond national courts. These courts interpret and enforce regional human rights treaties, ensuring consistent standards across member states. Examples include the European Court of Human Rights and the Inter-American Human Rights Court. They promote accountability, uphold dignity, and help strengthen human rights protections across their regions.
