QUALITÉ DE VICTIME ET RECEVABILITÉ DEVANT LA COUR EUROPÉENNE DES DROITS DE L’HOMME: ENJEUX DES REQUÊTES LIÉES AU CONFLIT EN UKRAINE
VICTIM STATUS AND ADMISSIBILITY BEFORE THE EUROPEAN COURT OF HUMAN RIGHTS: ISSUES IN APPLICATIONS RELATED TO THE CONFLICT IN UKRAINE

Summary/Abstract: This article examines the admissibility conditions for applications before the European Court of Human Rights, with a focus on the victim status in situations of armed conflict, such as in Ukraine. It analyses the general admissibility criteria and the distinction between direct, indirect, and potential victims, as well as the adaptations made by the Court to account for conflict contexts, notably the relaxation of the exhaustion of domestic remedies and the recognition of extraterritorial jurisdiction. Case law, particularly Georgia v. Russia (IV), illustrates these developments and the ECHR’s ability to effectively protect the rights of victims in complex situations.
