French term or phrase: Palais Des Droits de l'Homme

Can any of you learned law folk out there tell me what the difference is between the
Palais Des Droits de l'Homme and the Cour Europeenne des Droits de l'Homme? I have been
researching this but so far have not found an answer. My understanding of 'Palais' in this context is that it is a Court or Courthouse... so I am wondering if one operates at European level and the other does not, if indeed they are not one and the same thing? Although one would think that human rights matters should operate at global level! Awaiting pearls of wisdom.... thanks in advance...
