EL CONSEJO DE EUROPA

El Consejo de Europa, con sede en Estrasburgo (Francia), es una organización intergubernamental de la que forman parte 46 Estados europeos. Fue fundada por el Tratado de Londres de 5 de Mayo de 1949 que establece que:  

"La finalidad del Consejo de Europa consiste en realizar una unión más estrecha entre sus miembros para salvaguardar y promover los ideales y los principios que constituyen su patrimonio común y favorecer su progreso económico y social".

Es un organismo internacional de ámbito continental destinado a promover, mediante la cooperación de los Estados de Europa, la configuración de un espacio político y jurídico común en el continente, sustentado sobre los valores de la democracia, los derechos humanos y el Imperio de la ley.
