Do you want to help the European Court of Human Rights to ensure respect for the human rights of 820 million Europeans? Are you interested in dealing with applications alleging violations of the rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights? If so, our job offer may be the right opportunity for you.

Who we are

 With over 2000 staff representing all its 47 member States, the Council of Europe is a multicultural organization. We all strive towards protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law and our three core values

The European Court of Human Rights oversees the implementation of the European

Convention on Human Rights in the member States. Individuals can bring complaints
