Read a random definition: tangible property

A quick definition of European Court of Human Rights:

European Court of Human Rights: The European Court of Human Rights is a group of judges who work together to make sure that people's basic rights are protected. They were created in 1959 and have 41 judges who are chosen by the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly. The court helps to make sure that people's rights are not violated and that they are treated fairly.

A more thorough explanation:

The European Court of Human Rights is a judicial body of the Council of Europe. It was established in 1959 and underwent significant changes between 1994 and 1998. The court consists of 41 judges, each elected by the Council of Europe's Parliamentary Assembly. Its main function is to adjudicate alleged violations of civil and political rights as outlined in the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms.

If a citizen of a member state of the Council of Europe feels that their human rights have been violated, they can bring a case to the European Court of Human Rights. For example, if a person is arrested and detained without a fair trial, they can file a complaint with the court. The court will then investigate the case and make a ruling on whether or not the person's rights were violated.

This example illustrates how the European Court of Human Rights serves as a means of protecting the rights of citizens in member states of the Council of Europe. It ensures that governments are held accountable for any violations of human rights and provides a mechanism for citizens to seek justice.
