The European Convention for the Protection of the Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR), established under the auspices of the Council of Europe and based in Strasbourg, France. The ECHR system is widely accepted as the most advanced and effective international regime for formally enforcing human rights in the world today. Since 1953, when the ECHR came into force, it has sought to define and protect an explicit set of civil and political rights for all persons within the jurisdiction of its member states. The fifteen states of the European Union, also members of the Council of Europe, not only inscribed these human rights principles in their founding treaties (Treaty of Rome 1958, Treaty of Maastricht 1993), but also implemented them in the political and economical relations with the other countries of the world. With diplomatic persuasion and financial incentives combined, the European Union has showed successful influences on the international human rights enforcement, which.in certain degree helped to maintain and improve the peace and stability of the world. |
