and 15 other applications
(see table appended)
PROCEDURAL INFORMATION
Following a preliminary examination of the admissibility of the applications on 18 December 2025, the Court decided, under Rule 54 § 2 (b) of the Rules of Court, that notice of the applications should be given to the Government of Russia. It is to be noted that the issue of jurisdiction over the area where the incidents giving rise to the complaints allegedly took place has been examined and decided by the Grand Chamber of the Court in the case of Ukraine and the Netherlands v. Russia ([GC], nos. 8019/16 and 3 others, §§ 327-66, 9 July 2025). The Grand Chamber’s finding will then be applied in these individual cases.
In some applications, other complaints were raised. Their examination has been adjourned, or they have been struck out of the Court’s list of cases or declared inadmissible by the Court, sitting in a single-judge formation, assisted by a rapporteur as provided for in Article 24 § 2 of the Convention.
In the enclosed table, whenever an applicant is referred to using initials, this indicates that the Court has authorised anonymity for that person, whose identity will not be disclosed to the public (Rule 47 § 4).
For further information on the procedure following communication of an application brought against Russia, subject of well-established case law of the Court, please refer to the Court’s Internet site.
