Any European state may become a member of the Council of Europe on condition that it undertakes to safeguard the dignity of its citizens by upholding their fundamental rights and adhering to ethical values. The aim of the Council of Europe is to achieve greater unity among its members. States acceding to the organization’s statute commit themselves to acknowledge the principles of:

• the rule of law

• human rights

• and pluralist democracy.

Moreover, the statute expressly provides that a member state which ceases to comply with these principles and obligations may be excluded from the organization.

Objectives

The Council of Europe aims to heighten awareness of and enhance the cultural identity of Europe in all its diversity. It seeks to help find solutions to some of the key problems of our era:

• racism, discrimination against minorities

• social exclusion

• organized crime, corruption

• trafficking in human beings, violence

• drug abuse, and the scourges of AIDS, malaria and cancer

• bioethics and the issue of cloning

• protection of the environment.

It also seeks to promote democratic stability in Europe by supporting political, legislative and constitutional reforms.
