 s present What Is The Council of Europe?&nbsp\; — and Why It MattersThomas
  Kattau\, Council of EuropeElena Hedoux\, Council of Europe&nbsp\;Today th
 e European political landscape is marked by the persistent question about 
 the capacity of democratic systems to meet the population's expectations. 
 Europe experiences an increase in authoritarian temptations and a resurgen
 ce of nationalism. This puts Council of Europe\, celebrating 70 years of e
 xistence\, to the test. In this time it has succeeded in creating a common
  legal space for 47 countries based on its core mission: to promote and up
 hold the values of democracy\, human rights and respect for the rule of la
 w. The Council promotes a model of democratic governance that is the hallm
 ark of the European model together with the human rights protection mechan
 ism. This model is currently challenged and the Council of Europe is worki
 ng on its role to remain relevant. Sponsored by Moynihan Institute of Glob
