The applications originated from the conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation after the Russian Federation asserted jurisdiction over Crimea in 2014. The applicants’ various complaints under the Convention were communicated to the Russian and Ukrainian [1] Governments. The Ukrainian Government submitted observations on the admissibility and merits in the cases communicated to them. The Russian Government did not submit their observations. The applicants were required to submit their observations together with any claims for just satisfaction (see details in the appended table). When the applicants failed to submit their observations, they were notified, by letters sent via the Court’s Electronic Communication Service (eComms) and/or by registered post, that the time-limit for submission had expired and that no extension had been requested (see appended table for details). The applicants’ 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. However, no response was received. THE LAW Having regard to the similar procedural conduct of the applicants, the Court finds it appropriate to examine their applications jointly in a single decision. In the light of the foregoing, the Court concludes that the applicants may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue the applications (Article   37   §   1   (a) of the Convention). Furthermore, in accordance with Article 37 § 1 in fine , the Court finds no special circumstances regarding respect for the rights guaranteed by the Convention and the Protocols thereto which require the continued examination of the applications. Accordingly, the cases should be struck out of the list. The Court reiterates that, under Article 37 § 2 of the Convention, it may decide to restore an application to its list of cases where the circumstances so justify. For these reasons, the Court, unanimously, Decides to join the applications; Decides to strike the applications out of its list of cases. Done in English and notified in writing on 11 December 2025.     Viktoriya Maradudina   Faris Vehabović   Acting Deputy Registrar   President   APPENDIX List of applications   No. Application no.
