Convenience for applications from the ECHR from Turkey to the earthquake zone

The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) has taken a series of facilitating decisions regarding the applications made or to be made by the people affected by the earthquake to the court.

In the statement made by the ECtHR, litigation processes will be facilitated in order to avoid unjust treatment regarding applications coming from or coming from earthquake regions.

In a written statement made by the ECtHR, it was reported that the evaluation of the applications before and after 6 February from the earthquake zone was suspended until the next announcement, pursuant to Article 47 of the court's bylaws.

In the statement, it was noted that the court will continue to provide information to the parties regarding the cases that come to the ECtHR from the earthquake area, whose application process is ongoing or ended, and that the three-month period for appealing the finalized court decisions may be extended for applications coming from earthquake zones.

What are the benefits provided to applicants?
The notice period for additional information or financial compensation against the views of the government regarding the applications made in earthquake zones has also been extended.

In case of a decision from the court, the three-month objection period for the applicants living in the earthquake zone was also extended.
