Introduction to the European Convention on Human Rights - The rights guaranteed and the protection mechanism

The model system created by the European Convention on Human Rights is internationally renowned. The rights it protects are among the most important, covering not only civil and political rights, but also certain social and economic rights,such as the right to respect for personal possessions.

The European Court of Human Rights stands at the heart of the protection mechanism guaranteeing these rights. An entirely judicial system since the adoption and entry into force of Protocol No. 11, it is to be made even more effective by the improvements provided for by Protocol No. 14.
