The Council of Europe, based in Strasbourg, was created in 1949 and now includes 46 European countries. It was set up to promote democracy, human rights and the rule of law and is home to the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights – among many other things!
The Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights) is the leading UN entity on human rights. We represent the world’s commitment to the promotion and protection of the full range of human rights and freedoms set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
The European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights protects fundamental rights which define minimum standards to ensure everyone is treated with dignity.
We help promote and protect those rights and our staff includes legal experts, political and social scientists, statisticians, and communication specialists.
The International Criminal Court (ICC) investigates and, where warranted, tries individuals charged with the gravest crimes of concern to the international community: genocide, war crimes, crimes against humanity and the crime of aggression. The Court is participating in a global fight to end impunity, and through international criminal justice, the Court aims to hold those responsible accountable for their crimes and to help prevent these crimes from happening again.
