Abstract: At the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the
European Court of Human Rights ruled and then extended the decision to suspend
part of its activity, as well as certain procedural time-limits, including
time-limit for referral to the Court through the means of a state or an
individual application. These measures do not comply with the European
Convention on Human Rights, nor with the Rules of the Court. The control of the
regularity of these measures may be exercised by the judicial formations of the
Court, acting in the specific cases.
Keywords: European Court of Human Rights, suspension of
activities, suspension of procedural time-limits, regularity of the suspension,
control of the regularity of the suspension.
