Strasbourg Court

The Strasbourg Court, officially known as the European Court of Human Rights, is an international court based in Strasbourg, France. It monitors how European countries follow the European Convention on Human Rights, which protects fundamental rights like freedom of speech, privacy, and fair trials. When individuals believe their rights have been violated and domestic courts cannot resolve the issue, they can bring their case to the Strasbourg Court. The court then reviews complaints and ensures that countries uphold their obligations, promoting respect for human rights across its member states.
