Human Rights – Introduction
The Justis Human Rights service encompasses three key aspects of this increasingly important area of law:
Case Law database
The Human Rights Case Law database contains reports in English of all cases from the European Court of Human Rights, going back to the Court’s earliest judgment in 1960. The text of the reports is in the same form as published by the European Court of Human Rights. This database is updated weekly. Decisions on admissibility, which include the reasons why cases cannot be heard, will be added at a later date.
Legislation database
The Human Rights Legislation database contains European Human Rights Conventions including:
- European Convention on Human Rights, plus its 11 Protocols
- European Agreements Relating to Persons Participating in Proceedings of the European Court of Human Rights
- European Social Charter, plus its 3 Protocols, and the revised version
- European Convention for the Prevention of Torture and Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, plus its 2 Protocols
- European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages and the Convention for the Protection of National Minorities
