ECHR

European Court of Human Rights.

When all domestic remedies in Spain have been exhausted and a violation of rights persists, the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg may be the last opportunity to remedy it. Access is demanding and deadlines are unforgiving.

When and How to Apply to Strasbourg

The application requires having exhausted domestic remedies—normally including the amparo appeal—and must be filed within the Convention deadline. The ECHR is not a new instance: it reviews whether the State has violated a right under the European Convention on Human Rights, frequently the right to a fair trial under Article 6.

How We Work

We assess the real viability of the application—admissibility is the main filter—precisely identify the violated right and applicable case law, and draft and file the case in compliance with the Court’s strict formal requirements.
