Human rights mechanisms are systems and processes established to promote and protect the rights and freedoms of individuals. These mechanisms can include international treaties, national laws, and various organizations that monitor compliance with human rights standards. Examples include the United Nations Human Rights Council and the European Court of Human Rights, which work to address violations and hold accountable those responsible. These mechanisms operate at different levels, including local, national, and international, to ensure that human rights are respected. They provide avenues for individuals to seek justice and redress when their rights are violated, fostering a culture of accountability and respect for human dignity.
