1. BBC documentary on the Council of Europe

A 25-minute BBC-documentary about the Council of Europe, clearly and accurately explains the history of the organisation, the important role that it has played in shaping the Europe of today and some of the challenges that it is currently facing, including the pressing need to ratify Protocol 14 and reduce the backlog at the European Court of Human Rights. It also describes the way the organisation is structured and how it works, and fairly and objectively looks at a number of main achievements and some of the criticisms that are levelled at it.
