 Nurturing human rights

For more than 60 years, the Council of Europe’s Convention on Human Rights has worked for the respect of fundamental freedoms. It has made us aware that intolerance and discrimination are unacceptable.

The Andorran Chairmanship of the Council of Europe is launching a campaign in support of the values promoted by the Convention, in the firm belief that a Europe of “living together in harmony” in which everyone’s rights are upheld is a real possibility.

The international review process was established to fulfil three distinct objectives:
 - to advise on national youth policy;
 ˉ to identify components which might combine to form an approach to youth policy across Europe;
 - to contribute to a learning process in relation to the development and implementation of youth policy.
