There are laws, both national and international, that limit the freedom of governments to act against their citizens, but if no one points out to them that they are violating international norms by their actions, governments can continue to violate with impunity.

There are laws, both national and international, that limit the freedom of governments to act against their citizens, but if no one points out to them that they are violating international norms by their actions, governments can continue to violate with impunity. Each of us, as individuals, should not only respect the rights of others in our daily lives, but also keep a close eye on the actions of our governments and those of others. Rights protection systems exist so that we can all benefit from them.

]]> The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms defines the procedures for dealing with individual complaints. However, the acceptance of cases is subject to strict requirements. For example, before submitting a case to the European Court, you must confirm that your complaint has already been submitted to the national courts of your country (up to the highest instance!). If you want to try, and you believe that your complaint meets the requirements, it can be submitted on the official form available from the Registry. However, you are strongly advised to seek the advice of a lawyer or non-governmental organizations active in this field and see if you really have a realistic chance of success. Keep in mind that a final decision may be preceded by a long and complicated process.
