Reactions to the Candidate Selection Process for the ECHR
August 23, 2025
The proposal by the Republic of Cyprus for candidates to the European Court of Human Rights has sparked reactions and protests. Two excluded candidates argue that the evaluation process was flawed. Their lawyer, Christos Clerides, stated that there were misleading or false facts in the proposal. Official appeals have already been sent to the Judges Selection Committee. The complaints also concern the advancement of a candidate who does not meet fundamental requirements.
