European Human Rights Court litigation (Strasbourg)
Once a judgement has become irrevocable, a number of circumstances may justify filing a submission with the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg (ECHR). A prerequisite for such an action is that the convicted person has used all means of appeal and judicial review in the Netherlands ('exhaustion of legal remedies at national level'). Secondly, an application in Strasbourg may only refer to an alleged violation of a right the convict has under the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights (EHRC).
Our firm harbours the necessary expertise to handle these appeals. For instance, we were involved in the groundbreaking case of Van Mechelen v. the Netherlands.
Dr. Jan M. Sjöcrona will be happy to supply you with additional information.
