european court of human rights

the european convention on human rights is a contract between countries, who agree to be judged by a common court.

nation

but every country has their national law that tries to organise how this group of people lives together.

there are human rights violations every day: violence, murder, theft, your mom reading your email, you not paying in the bar.

n a t i o n a l l a w

but because every national law has translated and interpreted what they agreed on in the convention, it’s taken care of there.
