Curtea Europeană a Drepturilor Omului

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is an international court established in 1959 by the European Convention on Human Rights. It is tasked with ensuring that member states uphold the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the Convention. The court's rulings have significant implications for human rights law across Europe, and it often intervenes in cases where individuals claim their rights have been violated by state authorities. In recent news, the ECHR issued a ruling urging Serbia to refrain from using sound weapons against protesters, highlighting its role in protecting civil liberties and responding to urgent human rights concerns.
