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.
