I wish to report a deeply concerning lack of responsiveness and procedural fairness regarding my application (No. 27892/24) to the European Court of Human Rights. The application was rejected on 13 December 2024 in a single judge formation by Judge Alain Chablais, citing non-exhaustion of domestic remedies โ a justification contradicted by the facts presented, namely the denial of my right to appeal by the domestic court.
My subsequent formal request for clarification (16/01/25) was summarily dismissed by the Legal Secretariat with a standard letter that neither addressed the substantive issue nor provided the requested clarification.
A further formal complaint and request for clarification addressed directly to President Marko Boลกnjak on 14/03/25, detailing these points and requesting to reopen the case due to the lack of valid justification, has remained unanswered, a fact that I deem extremely disrespectful towards a European citizen who has suffered a violation of his human rights.
The ECHR is funded by European taxpayers and has a fundamental duty to uphold human rights with transparency and due diligence. Rejecting applications without clear, reasoned justification and failing to respond to legitimate requests for clarification, particularly from the President's office, represents a serious institutional failing. This undermines the very purpose of the Court and the trust citizens place in it. This lack of accountability is unacceptable.
I remain hopeful that the Court will address these procedural shortcomings and provide the review my appeal deserves. Should this occur, demonstrating a genuine commitment to the ethical and funding principles of ECHR and the reason of the existence of such a Court dedicated to human rights, I would gladly reconsider the negative assessment prompted by its prior omissions and revise this public review accordingly.
