Any citizen who felt that a nation refused to rectify a violation of their rights as defined by the European Convention could appeal to the ''European Court of Human Rights''. Prior to November 1998, complaints were first heard by the [[European Commission of Human Rights]], which would determine admissibility and encourage a "friendly settlement" between the individual and the nation.

==Left-wing activism==
The ECHR has become a tool of [[liberal]]s to advance their agenda. For example, in 2018, it ruled against a [[pro-life]] German activist, stating that it was legal and "necessary in a democratic society" to censor his view that abortion is murder, even though the court admitted that his rights were being violated in the process.<ref>Tomlinson, Chris (September 22, 2018).
