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.
Scholarly commentaries provide article-by-article analysis of a convention, including citations to relevant cases, travaux préparatoires (preparatory works), and other documents.
