Ukraine is fourth on the list of respondents to the European Court

Ukraine ranks fourth in the number of cases being considered by the European Court of Human Rights.

This is stated in the annual report on the activities of the Government Agent of Ukraine for the European Court of Human Rights.

It is also noted that cases against Ukraine being considered by the European Court account for 7.5% of the total number of cases, reports the Ministry of Justice website.

Only Russia, Turkey, and Romania have submitted more cases to the European Court.

Among the reasons most frequently leading to complaints against Ukraine are: the non-enforcement or delayed enforcement of national court decisions, as well as lengthy pre-trial investigations in criminal cases and prolonged court proceedings.

Among the most common grounds for Ukrainians to appeal to the European Court are “inadequate living conditions for individuals held in pre-trial detention centres or places of punishment, as well as the failure to provide adequate medical care to this category of persons.”
