In traditional international law, human rights violations committed by a state against its own nationals were deemed to fall within the exclusive jurisdiction of each state under the doctrine of state sovereignty. This traditional approach to international law, however, was significantly changed after World War II, giving birth to international human rights law, a new field of international law. The development of international human rights law is attributed to the brutal violations of human rights during the Hitler-era and to the belief that these violations, and possibly the war itself might have been prevented had an effective international system for the protection of human rights existed. Trembling from the monstrous memories of World War II, people sought to establish a new world order in which what a state did to its citizens within its territorial borders would no longer be its exclusive concern and an elaborate regime of international human rights law came into existence, seeking to protect the individual against the acts and omissions of acts of his or her own government. In practice, international human rights law is devised through a combination of international instruments based on either the universal human rights system or a regional human rights system. The universal human rights system aims at worldwide universal membership, while the regional human rights system functions in a certain region with limited membership. They are complementary, reinforcing the same purpose of the promotion and protection of human rights. The two approaches may well be reconciled on a functional basis: the global instrument would contain the minimum normative universal standard whereas the regional instrument might go further, add further rights, refine some rights, and take into account special differences within the region and between one region and another. The most successful and elaborated regional human rights protection system is the European one. The European system was created by the Council of Europe, which was founded in 1949. In this paper, I explored the birth of the European system, its growth to the current form, and the path likely to be followed in the future.
