Can a Non-EU citizen who worked in a EU country with specific work permit have the right to apply to ECHR for workplace discrimination?
<p>I am a citizen of Turkey, not of the EU. I worked in Ireland with a Critical Skills Employment Permit.</p>

<p>I sued my employer for Workplace Discrimination. I decided that the case was not dealt with properly. After I exhaust all the internal procedures, I am planning to apply to European Court of Human Rights - ECHR. But I read that "People can go to ECHR only against the countries of their own".</p>

<p>Is this correct? Do I have the right to go to the ECHR?</p>

<p>According to this <a href="https://www.echr.coe.int/Documents/Questions_Answers_ENG.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">pamphlet</a> (see page 5), no, you do not need to be a citizen of the EU country.</p>
<blockquote>
<p><strong>What are the conditions relating to me personally?</strong></p>
<p>You do not need to be a national of one of the States bound
by the Convention. The violation you are complaining of must
simply have been committed by one of those States against
a person within its “jurisdiction”, which usually means on its
territory</p>
