Discover a selection of topics highlighting the Council of Europe’s work on some of the major challenges facing our societies.

The rule of law is a cornerstone of protecting and promoting human rights and democratic governance. It guarantees that everyone is treated equally, that they have the right to challenge decisions through independent courts, and that public power is exercised transparently and accountably. This concept is essential to the Council of Europe’s mission to build strong human rights and democracy across its member states.
