 In 2025, Committee of Ministers received 25 cases against Armenia  from ECHR for monitoring their implementation

ArmInfo.  In 2025, the Committee of Ministers received 25 cases against Armenia from the European Court of Human Rights for monitoring their implementation, compared to 15 cases in 2024 and 28 in 2023. This is stated in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) 2025 report.

It is noted that of the new violations identified by the Court in  2025, some concerned police conduct during mass protests and  discrimination against LGBT rights activists. Others concerned the  impartiality of the tribunal in dismissing a high court judge and the  authorities' failure to adequately respond to serious acts of  domestic violence. It is also emphasized that, as of 31 December  2025, the Court had 75 cases pending for execution, compared to 71 in  2024 and 70 in 2023, of which 11 were lead cases classified under the  enhanced procedure and 17 were lead cases classified under the  standard procedure.

Of the lead cases subject to the enhanced procedure, two have been  pending for five years or more.  Similarly, five of the lead cases  considered under the standard procedure have been pending for five  years or more (compared to five in 2024 and six in 2023).

It is noted that the Armenian authorities have submitted nine action  plans, 15 action reports, and nine communications. Full payment of  the just compensation awarded by the Court was recorded in 16 cases  in 2025, while confirmation of full payment and/or accrual of  interest for delay was pending in two cases in which the deadline  specified in the Court's decision had expired more than six months  earlier.

The Committee added that it closed 21 cases in 2025, including one  lead case under enhanced oversight and seven lead cases under  standard oversight. One lead case, concerning the early dismissal of  a judge and the lack of judicial review of the dismissal decision,  was successfully closed due to constitutional amendments establishing  an independent body responsible for disciplinary proceedings against  judges.

Furthermore, 13 repetitive cases were closed because further  individual action was not required or possible.  Significant  achievements noted by the Committee in the cases under review include  measures taken by the authorities to ensure the proper exercise of  the right to freedom of assembly, such as legislative and  institutional reforms, improved judicial practice, and training and  awareness-raising; as well as a wide range of general measures, in  particular complex legislative and institutional reforms, taken by  the authorities to fulfill their positive obligation to protect the  right to life of military personnel. Main issues examined by the  Committee of Ministers in 2025.

During 2025, the Committee of Ministers examined and adopted  decisions on three main cases/groups of cases examined under the  expanded procedure: police brutality and lack of official  investigation; unlawful arrest and detention; disproportionate and  unjustified dispersal of protests. The inability of persons displaced  during the active military phase (1992-1994) of the Nagorno-Karabakh  conflict to access their homes and property in the region; and the  lack of effective remedies. The Chiragov et al. case-the most recent  decision was taken in 2025-was examined by the Committee of Ministers  twice in 2025.

Failure to provide a credible explanation for the injuries sustained  by the applicants' relatives, conscripts, and their deaths; lack of  an effective investigation. Muradyan Cluster - Last Decision Adopted  in 2025 - This cluster was examined twice by the Committee of  Ministers in 2025.

Other key issues pending before the Committee of Ministers as of 31  December 2025. The cluster also includes one case concerning the lack  of a legislative and regulatory framework to protect minors from  sexual violence; and clusters of cases concerning inadequate  healthcare in detention facilities, lack of protection from  homophobic attacks and hate speech, as well as ill-treatment in  police stations and ineffective investigations. It also includes one  case concerning the authorities' failure to ensure protection from  domestic violence. Detailed information on the main achievements and  outstanding issues for Armenia is available in the dedicated country  factsheet.
