The Council of Europe: guardian of human rights
Strasbourg
On 18 November 2022, a delegation of the European Seniors’ Union undertook a study visit to the Council of Europe in Strasbourg.
From 16 to 19 November, members of the ESU Presidium were able to discover this in a unique way. We could discover the city’s history, but also get to know the Council of Europe and European Court of Human Rights. Although there was no session of the European Parliament, we got a clear picture of its functioning.
Dr Teona Lavrelash presented her presentation on “The EU and its Eastern Neighbourhood Policy: achievements, challenges and prospects” to our members. This presentation was warmly received by our Presidium members and can be found here.
