The European Court of Human Rights is an international court that can hear complaints from individuals, organizations and companies who claim that their rights guaranteed by the European Convention on Human Rights have been violated. The Convention is an international treaty by which a number of European states have pledged to guarantee certain fundamental rights. The guaranteed rights are listed in the Convention itself, and also in Protocols Nos. 1, 4, 6, 7, 12, 13, 14, 15 and 16 which only some of the countries have accepted.
A complete application must be submitted to the European Court of Human Rights within four months of the final decision of the competent domestic authority. The period of four months shall, in principle, run from the date on which the decision of the highest competent domestic court or authority was rendered or from when such decision was delivered to you or your attorney.
In order for the Court to accept the application, you must complete all relevant sections of the application and provide all necessary documents in the manner provided for in Rule 47. Please bear this in mind when completing the application and attaching the relevant documents. If you do not follow the instructions, the Court will not consider your case, will not register it in its case database, or save any document.
A petition to the Court is lodged exclusively by post (by no means by telephone). This means that a paper copy of the application form with the original signature of the applicant and/or authorized representative (s) must be sent by post. An application received by fax is not treated as a complete application, since the Court must receive the original of the signed application form. In the first stages of the application, any language used in the member states of the Council of Europe may be used, while in the later stages, English or French, which are the two official languages of the court, is used exclusively.
