The work of the Council of Europe in an era of multiple crises

The Council of Europe was established in 1949 to defend and protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law. Its work is more important than ever in an era of multiple crises, which seems to have undermined the fundamental rights and human rights situation.

At the expert seminar on the Council of Europe Human Rights Day, the morning’s speakers will take a thorough look at the activity and structures of the Council of Europe. The discussions will examine the Council of Europe’s work particularly from the local and regional government perspectives.

In times of crisis, the Council of Europe has sought to increase the resilience of human rights actors by means of various activities and tools, which will be talked about in detail during the morning session.
