The General Court of Justice of the European Union, the highest court in the EU, has its seat in Luxembourg. It is responsible for controlling the legality of acts of EU institutions, ensuring that Member States comply with the obligations established in the Treaties, and interpreting EU Law at the request of national judges.
The headquarters of the European Court of Human Rights is found in Strasbourg. Established in 1959, the ECHR is an international court which can hear individual or state claims of violations of the civil and political rights set down in the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court has been operating on a permanent basis since 1998, and individuals can direct complaints to it directly.
