Human rights are the basic rights and freedoms that belong to every person in the world. The European Convention on Human Rights protects the human rights of people in countries that belong to the Council of Europe. This includes the UK.
If you think your human rights under the European Convention have been breached, you may be able to take a case to court in the UK.
This section explains how your human rights are protected in the UK and what you can do if your rights have been breached.
