regional human rights systems

Regional human rights systems are frameworks established by groups of countries within specific areas to promote and protect fundamental rights and freedoms. These systems involve regional organizations, such as the European Court of Human Rights or the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, which monitor compliance, investigate violations, and offer legal remedies. They serve as additional layers of accountability beyond national laws, ensuring that governments respect human rights within their regions. These systems help countries address issues more effectively by fostering cooperation, setting regional standards, and providing individuals with accessible avenues to seek justice for rights violations.
