On 27-29 September 2022, a delegation of the League of Arab States (LAS) led by its Secretary General delegation, visited the Council of Europe headquarters in Strasbourg as part of the cooperation aimed at the establishment of common legal space between Europe and the Southern Mediterranean region based on international and Council of Europe standards. The delegation was presented with the Council of Europe’s key instruments and areas of expertise, with a focus on the European Court of Human Rights, the international court with jurisdiction to rule on individual or state applications alleging violations of the civil and political rights set out in the European Convention on Human Rights. This initiative was organised in the framework of the joint EU-Council of Europe Programme "Protecting human rights, the rule of law and democracy through shared standards in the Southern Mediterranean" (South Programme V).
