People have the right to property, education, fair elections, and free movement within their country.

The European Conventions on human rights are included in an international treaty established to protect the rights and freedoms of people in Europe. The Council of Europe wanted to bring better unity among its members. One of the ways it has chosen to achieve this has been through increased preservation and greater understanding of human rights and the fundamental freedoms of human beings.

The first three articles of the European Conventions on Human Rights concern the protection of a person’s right to one’s life, the protection of a person from torture, and the protection of people’s rights in general. Except for legal executions, a person will not be intentionally deprived of their life. The conventions stipulate that people must not be subjected to inhumane treatment.

The next articles of the European Conventions on human rights state that people are not to be kept in slavery and people have the right to a fair trial as well as rights to liberty and security. Human beings should not be forced to work and if they have been accused of a crime then they have the right to receive an honest and fair trial.

Article 16 of the European Conventions on Human Rights limits the political activity of people who come from other countries.
