European Law

    The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) is an international judicial authority established by the Treaty of Rome in 1950 and operates under the auspices of the Council of Europe. The European Court of Human Rights is based in Strasbourg, France.

       Its main purpose is to ensure the observance of the rights and freedoms provided for in the European Convention on Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms. Greece has already ratified the European Convention on Human Rights with the N.D. 53/1974. Individuals or groups of individuals who believe that their rights under the Convention have been violated may appeal to the ECtHR. The court decides whether there has been a violation of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) on the part of the contracting States, including Greece, and issues decisions that bind the member states that signed the Convention.
