Application form to the ECHR: how to fill out and submit an application?
Submitting an application to the European Court of Human Rights is an important step in protecting your rights and freedoms. One of the most important aspects of this process is filling out the application form correctly. Even the smallest mistake can lead to the rejection of your case. Below we will consider how to correctly fill out the application form to the ECHR.
The main steps in submitting an application to the ECHR
- Language selection. Before you start filling in the application form, you need to select the language in which you will submit your application. The European Court of Human Rights accepts applications in many languages, including English and various other European languages. It is important to choose a language in which you can express your thoughts and prove your arguments in the best way.
- Personal data. When filling out the application form, you need to provide your personal details, including your first name, last name, date of birth, gender and nationality. All these data must be entered accurately and without errors.
- Contact Information. It is very important to provide accurate and up-to-date contact information, as this information will be used by the court to contact you if necessary. You must include your mailing address, phone number, and email address.
- The subject of the case. When filling out the application form, you need to describe the subject of your case in detail. Identify the specific rights that were violated and provide a factual description of the events. This will help the court understand the merits of your case and determine whether it can be heard.
- Confirmation of the offense. You must state exactly how your rights and freedoms under the European Convention on Human Rights have been violated. Provide arguments and facts that support this violation. This will help the court understand the basis of your complaint.
- Additional documents. You can attach additional documents to your application, such as affidavits, proofs, medical reports, etc., that support your arguments. It is important to indicate in the form exactly which documents you are attaching to the application.
- Signature and date. Do not forget to sign the application form and indicate the date of completion. Your signature indicates your agreement with the terms and conditions of submitting an application to the European Court of Human Rights.
Once you have filled out the application form correctly, you can submit it to the ECtHR. This can usually be done online at the court's official website. Check whether all data is entered correctly and send your application.
