What systems for the protection of human rights and the rule of law exist on the European continent? What are the requirements to file a complaint with the European Court of Human Rights? Are these requirements very different from those required by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights? What type of protection does the European Social Charter provide? Why did the founding treaties of the current EU not provide for the protection of human rights or democratic values? What are the main attacks on judicial independence in European countries and those of Latin America? And freedom of the press? And to the action of NGOs?
