The Council of Europe (CoE) is a very old organization. Its constitutional organs are the Committee of Ministers, which consists of the foreign ministers of every member country, the Parliamentary Assembly made up of MPs from the Parliament of each member country, and the Secretary General is the head of secretariat of the Council of Europe (CoE).

The Commissioner for Human Rights is an autonomous establishment within the Council of Europe, instructed to persuade the knowledge of and esteem for human rights in the member nations.
Some of the most well-known bodies of the Council of Europe are the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which enforces the European Convention on Human Rights, and the European Pharmacopoeia Commission.
