To learn more about some topics, ECRI and other units of the Directorate General of Democracy of the Council of Europe commission studies to review problems and existing good practices identified on the subjects concerned, establish the learning from these, and assess how they can be supported and applied.

The study’s description of good practices and recommendations are shared among all those interested and serve as an incentive for co-operation.
