It covers the 1949 Statute, which, along with related texts, lays down the Councilżs aims and determines its membership and operating methods. The second section concerns the role played by the Council of Europe – which has always been very active in standard-setting – in the harmonisation of European statesż domestic law.

For instance, it studies the extent to which Council of Europe conventions have been incorporated in domestic law and how Council of Europe law and European Union law co-exist.
