The Statute of the CoE is signed on 5 May 1949 by ten States

The Statute of the CoE is signed on 5 May 1949 by ten States, namely Belgium, Denmark, France, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Iceland, Greece, West Germany and Turkey joined the original signatories within a year and therefore regarded by some as founding members. The Council has 47 members as of 2019.

The CoE, which introduces itself as “the continent’s leading human rights organisation”

Although the official languages of the Court are English and French, applications may be submitted in any one of the official languages of the States Parties. However, the proceedings are conducted, and the decisions and judgements are published, in English and/or French.

The ECHR and its Protocols prohibits the following:
- the right to vote and to stand for election.
- death penalty;
- torture and inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment;
- slavery and forced labour;

in cases where a single judge cannot decide whether to declare the application (in)admissible, s/he “shall forward it to a committee or to a Chamber for further examination” (Article 27, ECHR)

The Court examines only cases where
- the right to life;
- one or more of the rights set out in the Convention and its Protocols are alleged to be violated;
- the complaints are based on solid evidence;
- the complaints are directed against a State that ratified the Convention or the Protocol in question;
- the responsibility of a public authority (legislature, administrative body, the court of law and so on) is at stake, not that of private individuals or private organizations;
- acts or events subject to the complaint occurred after the date of ratification by the concerned State of the Convention or the Protocol in question;
- the applicant is personally and directly affected by the breach of a fundamental right;
- domestic remedies are exhausted;
- the complete application is lodged with the Court within six months from the final domestic decision.
- the complaints in question have not already been examined by the ECrtHR or another international body

Protocol 16, which entered into force in 2018 in respect of the States which have signed and ratified it, has extended the jurisdiction of the ECrtHR.

Various human rights protection systems are developed in Europe especially in the wake of World War II.

The ECrtHR is originally set up in 1959. It has started operating as a full-time permanent court based in Strasbourg

The CoE has a much-praised mechanism that obliges States to secure fundamental rights of not only their own citizens but also of everyone within their jurisdiction.All of its members are parties the ECHR and most of its Protocols, which are put into force to protect human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The mechanism is maintained by the ECrtHR, which has delivered more than 10.000 judgments since it was first established in 1959. The correct answer is A.
