Understanding the principles of the Convention system requires us to return to the vision that guided its creation—the vision set out by its founders. Listen to the words of Pierre-Henri Teitgen, member of the Consultative Assembly of the Council of Europe in 1949.

“Are we strong enough, in this phase of divergence, to find convergence again — to take control of the future we want to share?” On the 75th anniversary of the European Convention on Human Rights, I spoke with BBC on why dialogue & cooperation remain Europe’s best path forward.

#OnThisDay, 75 years ago, the European Convention on Human Rights was opened for signature in Rome.    The European Convention on Human Rights impacts over 700 million people in Europe, safeguarding our fundamental freedoms. Happy anniversary, #ECHR!

The European Convention on Human Rights turns 75 tomorrow!    The @coe.int’s foremost convention is the cornerstone of all its activities, and its ratification is a prerequisite for joining the Organisation.    📸🔙 Throwback to 1950 when the #ECHR was opened for signature in Rome!

Your everyday human rights related to employment, housing, health, education, social protection and welfare are guaranteed by the European Social Charter of the Council of Europe since 1961.

They lie about the ECHR. Just like they lied about Brexit. Claiming if we just got rid of that ‘European’ thing, we’d be free, we’d have control, all our problems solved… It’s NOT TRUE. We’d inflict more chaos on ourselves and torch our own human rights framework for NOTHING. For liars. Again.
