About the project

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR CEDH) is the key body of the Council of Europe, whose main task is to ensure compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights. The court's website serves as a central hub for access to legal information and procedural documents. Materials concerning both interstate complaints and individual appeals from citizens are published here.

The resource provides access to the HUDOC database, which is the main tool for searching for precedents. This is not just an archive, but a living system where you can track the current state of affairs, including those pending before the Grand Chamber.

Main areas

The site's activities focus on several critical aspects of the Court's work:

• The HUDOC databaseis the central element of the resource, containing an extensive collection of court decisions and documents.
• Interstate statements - a section devoted to cases initiated by member states against other states.
• Translations of judicial practice- translations of decisions into various languages ​​to ensure transparency of the process.
• Advisory opinions- legal positions given by the Court at the request of the bodies of the Council of Europe.
• Fact sheets- brief summaries on specific topics or categories of cases.

Particular attention is paid to information exchange. There is a network of Superior Courts Network and regional human rights courts that interact through the ECHR Knowledge Sharing platform.

Features of the site

The resource interface is aimed at professionals and researchers. Here you can find a calendar of hearings, statistics in the form of dashboards and reports, as well as recordings of all webcasts. An important element is the section Cases pending consideration by the Grand Chamber, which allows you to track the most significant processes.

The site also publishes annual reports and information about former President OLeary. Accessibility of materials is provided through a system of navigation links, including quick transition to the main content. All this is done to ensure that the legal community and the public have direct access to up-to-date information about the work of the Court.
