The Council of Europe (not to be confused with the European Union) is an international organisation on the continent of Europe with the stated aim of protecting human rights, democracy, and the rule of law. The European Convention on Human Rights, which protects human rights and political freedoms in Europe, entered into force on 3 September 1953. This convention protects freedom of expression and information in Article 10 and the right to privacy in Article 8.
