In the world where multiple actors shape the human rights agenda, coherence matters more than ever. Ensuring consistency between standards and guidance is key to avoiding fragmentation and strengthening the effective protection of human rights.

The Council of Europe remains a key reference point - its conventions, case law, and monitoring mechanisms continue to shape and strengthen human rights protection across our continent.

We invite international organisations, academics, and businesses working in this field to build on the Council of Europe's unique standards and expertise, ensuring that our collective efforts remain aligned, complementary, and impactful.
