(see appended table)

The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 26 March 2026 as a Committee composed of:

Diana Kovatcheva, President,
Canòlic Mingorance Cairat,
Vasilka Sancin, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application against the Republic of Azerbaijan lodged with the Court under Article 34 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (“the Convention”) on 13 December 2023,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

• FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant, Mr Amiraslan Jalilov, was born in 1983. He was represented by Mr A. Hasanov, a lawyer based in Azerbaijan.

The applicant’s complaints under Article 2 of Protocol No. 4 to the Convention and Article 6 § 1 of the Convention concerning the imposition of a travel ban on him by the domestic authorities, as well as the alleged unfairness of the related proceedings, were communicated to the Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”), who submitted observations on the admissibility and merits. The observations were forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his own observations. No reply was received to the Registry’s letter.

By letter dated 17 September 2025, sent through the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms), the applicant was notified that the period allowed for submission of his observations had expired on 7 May 2025 and that no extension of time had been requested. The applicant’s attention was drawn to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, which provides that the Court may strike an application out of its list of cases where the circumstances lead to the conclusion that the applicant does not intend to pursue the application. The applicant received that letter on 17 September 2025. However, no response followed.

• THE LAW

In the light of the foregoing, and in the absence of any special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto, the Court, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention, considers that it is no longer justified to continue the examination of the application.

Accordingly, the case should be struck out of the list.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases.

Done in English and notified in writing on 16 April 2026.
