What do you mean by ECHR criteria... What criteria
Does the Court have jurisdiction to deal with your application?
To determine whether the Court is able (has jurisdiction) to deal with your application, please consult our online checklist questionnaire for guidance.
The purpose of this online checklist is to help you decide whether your case has any chance of being declared admissible.
As you answer the questionnaire, you will be given an indication of whether there may be an obstacle to admissibility. Please note that the form is for guidance only and not an official response from the Court.
Welcome to the European Court of Human Rights' applicant checklist. This checklist aims to give you guidance on your application to the Court. Before you answer the questionnaire, we would like to draw your attention to some facts and figures relating to admissibility.
Facts about admissibility
Did you know that 82% of all applications (a total of 38,505) decided by the Court in 2016 were declared inadmissible?
The principal reasons why applications were declared inadmissible in 2016 were as follows:
51% were rejected as manifestly ill-founded
19% of applications, the applicants did not exhaust domestic remedies
11% were lodged more than 6 months after the final decision taken by a domestic court
10% were rejected because the applicants wanted the Court to quash, rehear or revise decisions taken by domestic courts ("fourth instance")
9% of applications were found to be incompatible with the provisions of the Convention or its Protocols
The Court does not act as a court of appeal vis-à-vis domestic courts incompatible with the provisions of the Convention or its Protocols
