What is an application to the European Court of Human Rights?
An ECtHR application alleges a violation of rights under the European Convention on Human Rights.
Key concepts and application
The court is not a general appeals court over domestic judgments. Exhaustion, deadlines and official form requirements matter. Applicants identify the Convention right and document the relevant facts.
Rights, procedure and limits
Read the court’s current instructions because procedure can change. An unfavorable domestic result is not itself a Convention breach. Individual cases need legal assessment.
