Ukraine concerning the ineffective investigation of ill-treatment inflicted on the applicant by private individuals in 2009, which resulted in his partial disability.

The Court particularly emphasized the two-year delay in opening a criminal case, problems with the verdict delivery, and the ultimate discontinuation of prosecution due to the expiration of the limitation period.The key provisions of the decision include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Court found that the two-year delay in opening a criminal investigation was unjustified<\/li>\n<li>The failure of the Babushkinskyi District Court to properly deliver and announce the verdict violated procedural rules<\/li>\n<li>The Court emphasized that effective protection against ill-treatment cannot be achieved when criminal proceedings are discontinued due to time limitations caused by the authorities&#8217; flaws<\/li>\n<li>The Court awarded the applicant EUR 4,500 in respect of non-pecuniary damage<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hudoc.echr.coe.int\/?i=001-238028\"><strong>Full text by link<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) issued a judgment in the case of Orlov v.
