As it is known, people and governments of goodwill have always aspired to a lasting peace in the world. All of us understand that to keep international peace and security, to sign international treaties, to fight against terrorism and to protect human rights we need to cooperate and unite efforts with other countries. That’s why special European institutions were created.
Some of them are:
· The Council of Europe. It is an international organisation in Strasbourg, which comprises 39 democratic countries of Europe. Its main goal is to promote human rights, democracy, and the rule of law.

· European Court of Justice ensures compliance with the law in the interpretation and application of the European Treaties of the European Union. It meets in Luxembourg.
· European Council is an executive organ which monitors the proper application of the Union treaties and the decisions of the Union institutions.
· European Court of Human Rights is the only truly judicial organ established by the European Convention on Human Rights. It is composed of 39 members and ensures, in the last instance, the observance by the Contracting States of the obligations imposed by the Convention. It is based in Strasbourg.

· Parliamentary Assembly is a deliberative body of the Council of Europe, composed of 239 representatives appointed by the 39 member states national parliaments. It is one of the two statutory organs of the Council of Europe, an international organisation dedicated to upholding human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and which oversees the European Court of Human Rights.
· European International Court of Justice is a judicial body of the United Nations, which meets in the Hague.
· European Parliament is a parliamentary body of the European Union, which comprises 567 European Members of Parliament of the 12 European Union countries, elected by universal suffrage.
· European Convention on Human Rights is a treaty by which the member states of the Council of Europe undertake to respect fundamental freedoms and rights.

· European Commission of Human Rights is an international body, which examines in accordance with the European Convention on Human Rights the admissibility of all individual or state applications against a member state; it expresses an opinion on the violation alleged in applications found to be admissible in cases, in which no friendly settlement is reached.

· Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a treaty, which was adopted by the United Nations in 1948 in order to strengthen the protection of human rights at international level.
To crown it all, the European institutions play a vital role in the modern world. And Ukraine, as a member of many international organisations like the Council of Europe or the United Nations, supports the policy of peace and cooperation, mutual understanding and recognising the priority of universal human values.
