European Union
JustCite indexes documents from the Official Journal and CELEX sectors 1-9, C and E including case law, legislation, treaties, proposals and conventions. EU documents are cited using their CELEX numbers. Click the Sector title to see a list of document types for each sector.
Please note
- EUR-OP provide very little information in CELEX Sector 0 (Consolidated Secondary Legislation) and CELEX Sector 8 (National Case Law), so we have decided to omit them from JustCite for the time being.
Council of Europe
The Council of Europe was established in 1949 with the aim of protecting human rights, democracy and the rule of law. It is responsible for the European Convention on Human Rights (now given further effect in UK law by the Human Rights Act 1998) and the Convention’s supervising court, the European Court of Human Rights.
Documents appearing in the Official Journal of the European Union.
