Council of Europe: State of democracy, human rights and the rule of law: A security imperative for Europe

01 June 2016

Support our work: become a Friend of Statewatch from as little as £1/€1 per month.

"The Council of Europe will help Europe’s governments promote inclusion by making sure that domestic legislation relating to migrants and refugees meets international standards, by training public officials and law enforcement in the human rights of these groups, and by assisting with special safeguards for unaccompanied children. Social rights will remain at the top of our agenda, in particular securing more ratifications of the revised European Social Charter and the Protocol on Collective Complaints. Across Europe, we will support teachers to equip young people with the skills and understanding needed to operate as democratic citizens in diverse societies."
