ECHR relinquishes jurisdiction of Ukraine vs. Russia cases to Grand Chamber
The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) Chamber dealing with four inter-State applications by Ukraine against Russia has decided to relinquish jurisdiction over the cases in favor of the Grand Chamber, the ECHR said on May 9, 2018 in a press release posted to its website.
Ukraine accuses Russia and illegal armed formations controlled by Russia of violating Europe's Convention of Human Rights.
"The cases concern Ukraine's allegations of violations of the European Convention on Human Rights by Russia and armed groups which Russia allegedly controls. The applications were made under several Articles, including Article 2 (right to life), Article 3 (prohibition of torture and inhuman or degrading treatment), Article 5 (right to liberty and security), Article 6 (right to a fair trial)," the statement said.
Both the applicant and the respondent governments have submitted their observations on the merits of the cases.
