Proračun Vijeća Europe za 2022. godine je €477M.

The European Convention on Human Rights, complemented by the European Social Charter, is the basis of human rights protection on our continent. The values on which these texts and the Council of Europe’s other core instruments are based do not change, but the challenges to our fundamental freedoms do. While some remain stubbornly long-standing, others shift and emerge as European societies adapt and evolve. The challenge for the Council of Europe is to ensure that we keep pace with that change: that we are able to plan with a proper perspective, while remaining fleet of foot in a fast-changing world.

Marija Pejčinović Burić
Secretary General

Where does the money come from?

The Budget is mainly funded by member States' contributions. National contributions are based on a formula which takes into account population and Gross Domestic Product. The major contributors (France, Germany, Italy, Russian Federation and United Kingdom) all pay the same rate for the ordinary budget.
States may also make voluntary contributions to support the Council of Europe's programme of work.
Joint programmes with the European Union allow the Organisation to enhance its impact and its operational capacity.
 

What is the money used for?

The money is used to implement the Programme, which is structured around three thematic pillars: Human Rights (including the European Court of Human Rights), Rule of Law and Democracy, with an additional support pillar covering governing bodies, support services and other common expenditure lines.
