Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) allows individuals, groups of individuals, or non-governmental organizations to bring actions against states that have ratified the European Convention on Human Rights for alleged violations of the rights and freedoms set out in the Convention. Actions cannot be brought against individuals or public authorities directly; they must be brought against the state itself.
