A total of 25 new cases concerning Armenia were brought before the European Court of Human Rights in 2025, according to the latest annual report published by the Council of Europe Committee of Ministers.

The report assesses how member states are implementing rulings from the Strasbourg-based court, which oversees compliance with the European Convention on Human Rights.

Across all member states, the number of new judgments requiring supervision by the Committee of Ministers saw a slight decrease in 2025. A total of 921 new cases were registered, compared to 992 in 2024.

Ukraine recorded the highest number of new cases at 159. It was followed by Azerbaijan and Italy, each with 75 cases. Hungary (70), Turkey (69) and Poland (58) also ranked among the countries with the most new rulings.

The 25 new cases concerning Armenia represent an increase from 15 in 2024, though slightly lower than the 28 recorded in 2023.

According to the report, the cases largely relate to police conduct during mass protests, alleged discrimination against members of the LGBT community, the lack of adequate respons to serious domestic violence cases and dismissal of judges.
