(see appended table)
The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 14 September 2023 as a Committee composed of:
Carlo Ranzoni, President,
Lado Chanturia,
María Elósegui, judges,
and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,
Having regard to the above application lodged on 19 August 2021,
Having regard to the observations submitted by the respondent Government,
Having deliberated, decides as follows:
FACTS AND PROCEDURE
The applicant’s details are set out in the appended table.
The applicant’s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate medical treatment in detention were communicated to the Ukrainian Government (“the Government”).
THE LAW
In the present application, having examined all the material before it, the Court considers that for the reasons stated below, the applicant’s complaint is inadmissible.
In particular, the Court notes that the applicant’s detention ended on 11 February 2021, while she only lodged her application with the Court on 19 August 2021. It follows that the respective complaints were lodged more than six months after the end of the situation in respect of which the State could be held responsible for the inadequate medical treatment in detention.
In view of the above, the Court finds that this application must be rejected pursuant to Article 35 §§ 1 and 4 of the Convention for having been lodged too late.
For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,
Declares the application inadmissible.
Done in English and notified in writing on 5 October 2023.
