About HELP

The Council of Europe (CoE) Programme for Human Rights Education for Legal Professionals (HELP) supports the CoE member states in implementing European human rights standards at the national level, focusing on the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), the European Social Charter, other key CoE instruments, and, since 2015, relevant EU legal framework. This is done by raising the capacities of professionals to apply those instruments in their daily work.
