Just to clarify matters .

In Zurich in 1946 Sir Winston Churchill called for a "kind of United States of Europe" and the creation of a Council of Europe .

The Council of Europe was founded in 1949 by the Treaty of London .

The Council of Europe , with all of its 47 member states , adopted the European Convention on Human Rights .

This Convention established the European Court of Human Rights .

It is an entirely separate body from the European Union .
