Procedural Posture

Human Rights Application / Final Judgment on Admissibility and Competence

  2. 2 Whether the applicant exhausted domestic remedies before seizing the Court

The Court found no evidence of abnormal prolongation caused by the State or of unavailability or ineffectiveness of domestic remedies.
