Abstract
European identity is rooted on shared values: peace, rule of law and protection of human rights. With this perspective, the European Court of Human Rights has considerably contributed to establish a common law of human rights, which applies to all the European States, which concerns all the fields of law and which constitutes a general framework for all the European legal systems. To achieve the political project of an European building, the international organizations present on the Old Continent – Council of Europe, European Union, OSCE – are called to develop aimed and coherent actions and transmit a clear message, understandable by the citizens of all the European States.
