Council of Europe reaches 70

Seventy years in protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law have taught us that whilst times change and progress is made, our job is never done. Today is much different from the world in which the Council of Europe was born, but history shows that the mistakes of the past can be repeated. Armed with the expertise of all those years, we are ready to keep up the job of building the best life for every European, defending the gains we have made and meeting the challenges of the future.
