Non-enforcement of judicial decisions concerning child custody: The Khanamirova group of cases

/

Khanamirova group of cases v Russian Federation (Application No 21353/10)

Briefed on 17th September 2020

The presentation was given by Stichting Justice Initiative. Prior to the presentation, there is a short introductory video involving interviews with victims of ongoing violations. All of the mothers in the videos have obtained judgments from the ECtHR or are involved in litigation there. You can also find here further information on custody rights/family kidnapping in Russia.

This is a group under standard procedure that is not on the agenda for the upcoming CM-DH meeting. However, EIN believes that it deserves the immediate attention of the Committee of Ministers because: it is a shocking human rights violation, which is exacerbated with every passing day, but where we believe rapid progress can be made if the case receives sufficient attention. The presentation of this case has therefore been arranged in order to call for it to be debated at the December CM-DH Meeting.
