Regional Human Rights Mechanisms

Regional human rights mechanisms are systems established by groups of countries in specific areas, such as Europe, Africa, and the Americas, to protect and promote human rights. These mechanisms often include treaties, courts, and commissions that address human rights violations and allow individuals to seek justice. They enhance accountability and offer a framework for cooperation among member states, working alongside global frameworks like the United Nations. By focusing on regional issues and contexts, they aim to provide more tailored protections and responses to human rights challenges within their respective areas.
