Strasbourg court begins tweeting case-law
Reading time: 1 minute
The European Court of Human Rights has today launched a multilingual Twitter accountECHRPublication reserved for news on case-law publications, translations and the HUDOC case-law database.
Registrar Erik Fribergh said: “Over recent years the Court has stepped up its efforts to improve the understanding of the Court’s case-law especially in States where neither English nor French is well understood.
“With this account, and by addressing them in their own language, the Registry wishes to further assist legal professionals, public officials and NGOs in keeping abreast of developments in this area.”
Since the Court launched its program “Bringing the Convention closer to home” in 2012, over 15,000 case-law translations have been published in HUDOC, representing nearly 30 languages.
Additionally, the Court has teamed up with various partners wishing to translate its case-law guides, handbooks and factsheets.
These translations are also published on the Court’s website.
