Considering that the purpose of the Council of Europe is to bring about a closer union among its members, and that one of the means of attaining this purpose is the protection and development of human rights and fundamental freedoms;

Reaffirming its deep attachment to these fundamental freedoms, which constitute the very foundations of justice and peace in the world, and the maintenance of which depends essentially, on the one hand, on a truly democratic political system and, on the other hand, on a common conception of and respect for the human rights which they invoke;

European Convention on Human Rights summary

The Convention on the Future of Europe (or European Convention or Constituent Convention) was the European convention charged with drafting the European Constitution that served as the basis for the final text submitted for ratification in the member states of the European Union. Established in 2002,[1] the Convention on the Future of Europe debated alternative models and visions of the European Union. It was composed of national and European parliamentarians, members of the European Commission, parliamentarians from the enlargement candidate countries and various observers.[2] It was the basis for the 2004 intergovernmental conference.

The Convention on the future of Europe concluded its work on July 18, 2003,[1] concluding a period of 17 months of work during which its members met in plenary session on twenty-six occasions (fifty-two days) and heard more than 1800 interventions.

The Convention formed eleven working groups and three discussion circles, each with its own specific mandate, which met to address specific issues and make recommendations to the Convention as a whole.

European Convention

The consultative referendum on the ECT was held on February 20, 2005. The question put to consultation was “Do you approve of the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe?”[17].

With a turnout of 69.74%, 54.87% of French voters rejected the Treaty in the referendum held on May 29, 2005.[23] President Jacques Chirac’s ruling UMP party officially supported the “yes” vote and was supported by its voters. The same was true for the UDF, the second right-wing force. On the contrary the Socialist party as well as The Greens who had officially supported the Treaty failed to convince their voters, who pronounced themselves in the negative.[24] In the same way, the UDF, the second right-wing force, did not support the “yes”.

The Communist, Green, far-left parties and the ultra-right National Front as well as the ATTAC organization clearly positioned themselves for the “no”. The high mobilization of the left led to a turnout that hovered around 70%.[25] In the aftermath of the rejection by two important countries of the “no” vote, the “no” vote was rejected.

Following the rejection of the constitutional project by two important founding countries of the European Union, the ratification process came to a standstill. The constitutional treaty was intended to enter into force on November 11, 2006, after ratification by the Member States, but with the “no” vote in France and the Netherlands, the German Presidency of the Council of the European Union convened an intergovernmental conference in June 2007 to draft a new treaty reforming the Treaty on European Union and the European Community Treaty. Out of that conference the Treaty of Lisbon was born.[26] The Treaty of Lisbon is the result.

European Convention on Human Rights

In Europe, there are two main institutions concerned with human rights: the Council of Europe and the European Union.    The Council of Europe was founded in 1949 and has 47 member states. The European Union has 28 member states. They work together to promote and protect human rights in Europe. The right to education is guaranteed in human rights instruments. Key information for each of the instruments listed is provided below.  For a more complete description of international and regional legal instruments that guarantee the right to education, see International Instruments – The Right to Education.

The European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, adopted in 1948, does not explicitly guarantee the right to education. However, the right to education is recognized in Article 2 of Protocol 1 to the Convention.

This Convention deals with the main aspects of the legal status of migrant workers. Article 14 protects the right of migrant workers to education and vocational training under the same conditions as national workers.
