Description
Summary:The European Court of Human Rights has considered, in different time periods, many applications related to the enforced disappearance of persons from different countries. The initial problem related to these applications, where the enforced disappearance happened before the ECHR's ratification, was the question of jurisdiction related to the procedural aspect of Article 2. Apart from that, many other questions arose from Article 34 and 35 of the ECHR. The aim of the author is to give an overview and analysis of the questions that were considered in these applications and to analyze the specifics of the enforced disappearance cases brought before this court. In that sense, in this analysis the author mostly relies on ECHR case law. In addition, the author gives a special overview of the numerous applications from Bosnia and Herzegovina that were rejected as manifestly ill-founded.
