Excellent news from the Council of Europe (CoE), the world’s leading human rights organisation. It is the governing body of the European Court of Human Rights. As you’re probably aware the CoE is distinct and separate from the EU. Britain and Ireland are contracting parties to the CoE and the ECHR. This is excellent news for people concerned about mandatory vaccination or discrimination on vaccination status.
Today a Council of Europe resolution has been voted that prohibits states from making vaccination against the covid mandatory or that it can be used to discriminate against workers or anyone who does not get vaccinated. Here is the text extracted at specific points and the full resolution in original and original link.

7.3.1 ensuring that citizens are informed thatvaccination is NOT mandatory and that no one is pressured politically, socially or otherwise to get vaccinated if they do not wish to do it yourself;
7.3.2 ensure that no one is discriminated against for not being vaccinated, due to possible health risks or because they do notwant to be vaccinated;
