European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)

The European Court of Human Rights was set up in Strasbourg in 1959 to enforce states’ obligations under the European Convention on Human Rights. The ECtHR adjudicates on complaints brought by individuals against a state party or parties (individual applications) and complaints brought by a state party against another state party (inter-state applications) concerning alleged violations of a right or rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights.
