2. Starter What do we know so far?

3. Differences European Convention of Human Rights – This was created to prevent the horrors of the second world war ever happening again. It includes the list of rights you are entitled to. European Court of Human Rights – This was set up to deal with the claims concerning breaches of the ECHR

4. European Convention on Human Rights Just because a state has ratified the Convention does not mean it has to incorporate the provisions into its domestic law: each state can choose to do so. By not having it incorporated into the domestic law means if someone has a complaint they have to take it to the European Court of Human Rights and are unable to take it through the domestic courts instead.
