On the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Council of Europe and the 60th anniversary of the European Court of Human Rights, there will be an Open Day on Sunday, May 5, 2019 from 10.00 to 18.00. You can find out where and how the rights and freedoms of more than 820 million citizens of 47 European countries are protected. A unique opportunity to visit the building of the Palace of Europe in Strasbourg. Last year was at a similar event in the European Parliament. Unforgettably. 04/29/2019

A great visit for our group of students, with a really great welcome from the people who received us, and explained to us the usefulness and the functioning of the Council of Europe ... this little-known but so noble institution! To discover !

A beautiful place, which was designed by the same architect as the Maison de la Radio, in Paris. An institution little known in France, but which has a key role in the safeguarding of human rights, beyond the European Union (Balkans, Turkey, Caucasus, Russia), although its founding texts have aged a little with time.

Sweeter experience that is not sweet, despite the grandiosity and pomposity of the building. As a European, I do not know how useful this institution can be. In a joyful poster on the front and in front of the garden you can read our rights, our freedom and our Europe, which must be that of the states that, like Spanish, have many nations discriminated against under supremacist and uniform laws. According to the king, democracy is subordinate to the law and nobody tells him that the law is what is subordinated to democracy.

Amazing and important place to visit. It's free and open for everyone. Please bring your ID card and show in the entrance. I strongly recommend this place for visit, especially with the kids. It takes one hour at most and really great. Enjoy your visit. Also, there is a park near where you can continue a nice day.

The organization itself deserves 5 stars. The building, however, is quite unusable - the architecture of the plenum hall definitely has something to do with it, but the rest is quite horrifying, both visually and functionally. Some floors resemble mazes.

A body that has managed in recent years to bring together and bring together representatives of many European countries, to legislate on the civil, social and cultural rights of Europeans, and integrate citizens towards a single feeling of peace and collaboration.

I really recommend everyone to visit this place. The guide was very pleasant and, despite the light French accent, she could understand everything. In the beginning, they will give you a piece of the Council document and then a discussion. The main room itself is fascinating. Obligation for those who have hockey in organizations such as the Council of the EU, the Council of Europe and the European Council.

Headquarters building of the Council of Europe. There are facilities for all needs. Everything from eating and drinking to the photocopy room has been considered. The only problem is that the building is not renewed due to lack of budget, I even saw a seat without a sponge.

Big building, cool architechture. Dominant language inside is French, normally. Inside there are historic pieces which represent every country such as the document Magna Carta representing England. I don't think it is really visitor-friendly.

About Conseil de l'Europe

The Council of Europe is the continent's leading human rights organisation. It includes 46 member states, 27 of which are members of the European Union.

Conseil de l'Europe: Leading the Way in Human Rights

The Conseil de l'Europe, or the Council of Europe, is a pan-European intergovernmental organization that was founded in 1949. It is headquartered in Strasbourg, France and has 46 member states, 27 of which are members of the European Union. The Council's primary mission is to promote human rights, democracy and the rule of law across Europe.

The Council's work is guided by its core values: human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality and the rule of law. These values are enshrined in its founding document - the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). The ECHR sets out a range of fundamental rights and freedoms that all member states must respect and protect.

One of the key functions of the Council is to monitor compliance with these rights through its European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR). The ECtHR hears cases brought by individuals who believe their rights have been violated by a member state. Its judgments are legally binding and have helped to shape human rights standards across Europe.

In addition to its legal work, the Council also carries out a wide range of activities aimed at promoting human rights education and awareness-raising. This includes running campaigns on issues such as hate speech and discrimination; providing training for judges, lawyers and other legal professionals; supporting civil society organizations working on human rights issues; and producing educational materials for schools.

Another important area of focus for the Council is democracy-building. It works with member states to strengthen democratic institutions such as parliaments, political parties and electoral systems. It also provides support for countries undergoing democratic transitions or emerging from conflict.

The Council's work on gender equality has been particularly noteworthy in recent years. In 2011 it adopted a groundbreaking convention on preventing violence against women - known as the Istanbul Convention - which has since been ratified by over 30 countries. The Convention sets out comprehensive measures to prevent violence against women including criminalizing domestic violence; providing support services for victims; promoting gender equality; raising awareness about violence against women; and ensuring effective prosecution of perpetrators.

Overall, Conseil de l'Europe plays an essential role in promoting human rights across Europe through its legal work monitoring compliance with fundamental freedoms enshrined within ECHR as well as carrying out various activities aimed at raising awareness about these issues among citizens while strengthening democratic institutions within member states themselves so they can better uphold these principles themselves too!
