Project: "Bringing Convention standards closer to home: Translation and dissemination of key ECHR case-law in target languages"

  • With a view to making the Convention standards more accessible in Council of Europe member States, the Court has launched a case-law translation programme, including a first project launched with the support of the Human Rights Trust Fund (“HRTF”) as well as a separate one covering additional languages. In the context of this program, over 21,000 texts - judgments, decisions and legal summaries - in thirty-one languages other than English and French have now been made available in HUDOC.
  • The project received a contribution of €1 340 000 from the Fund.
