WorldEuropean human rights court drops 879 Russian complaints; lawyers call it a sign of institutional crisis

The European Court of Human Rights has removed 879 complaints filed by Russians between September 2007 and September 2024, saying continued examination was no longer justified and that its limited resources should target cases of greatest significance. Lawyers argue that Russia’s departure from the Council of Europe and refusal to comply with rulings should not undermine the court’s protective role.
