L'Allemagne et le Conseil de l'Europe – Transposer les droits de l'homme de la table de conférence à celle de votre cuisine

Le Conseil de l'Europe travaille pour vous. Nous souhaitons conférer davantage de visibilité au rôle, aux normes et aux activités du Conseil de l'Europe dans ses États membres afin de montrer comment l’adhésion au Conseil de l’Europe a contribué à réaliser des objectifs ou des changements particuliers. Notre but est de souligner, grâce à un éventail d’événements et d’initiatives, comment l’action du Conseil de l'Europe a contribué à améliorer la vie des personnes et leur jouissance des droits fondamentaux.

 


Botschafterin Heike Thiele, Ständige Vertreterin der Bundesrepublik Deutschland beim Europarat

 

Qu’il s’agisse de l’impact de la Convention européenne des droits de l'homme au plan national ou des activités du Conseil de l'Europe dans de nombreux domaines, comme l’abolition de la peine de mort, la garantie de la liberté d'expression et de la liberté des médias, ou la lutte contre la violence en ligne et la violence contre les femmes favorisée par la technologie par le biais de la Convention d’Istanbul et de la Convention de Budapest sur la Cybercriminalité, le Conseil de l'Europe a de nombreuses réussites à son actif depuis 1949. Voir les réalisations
