Description

The Council of Europe turns 75! "We must build a kind of United States of Europe", said Churchill in a speech in Zurich in 1946. On May 5, 1949, the Council of Europe was born. Europe is the fruit of dialogue and cooperation between countries, and this is what the Council of Europe embodies. For more than three quarters of a century, its work to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law has had a considerable impact on the daily lives of the 700 million Europeans living in its 46 member states. The European Court of Human Rights, its judicial arm, is the main guarantor of the protection of individual rights and freedoms in Europe. With over 220 treaties, much progress has been made in advancing social rights, protecting people in vulnerable situations, combating racism and discrimination, and promoting freedom of expression. It is also at the forefront of efforts to prevent and combat violence against women. Its achievements are not confined to Europe's borders; they inspire standards the world over, notably in the fight against crime, including on the Internet. With its sights firmly set on the future, the Council of Europe is a pioneer in the development of tools and legal texts that will enable our values and standards to be applied in the face of new challenges, such as artificial intelligence and the right to a healthy environment. To mark its 75th anniversary, the Council of Europe is presenting an exhibition of its major milestones and achievements. Council of Europe
