THIRD SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 77970/17 Yuriy Valeryevich BABARINOV against Russia

The European Court of Human Rights (Third Section), sitting on 20 May 2021 as a Committee composed of:

Darian Pavli, President, Dmitry Dedov , Peeter Roosma, judges,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 23 October 2017,

Having regard to the declaration submitted by the respondent Government requesting the Court to strike the application out of the list of cases, and the applicant ’ s reply to this declaration,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

The applicant ’ s details are set out in the appended table.

The applicant was represented by Ms M. Butrimenko , a lawyer practising in Volgograd.

The applicant ’ s complaints under Article 3 of the Convention concerning the inadequate conditions of detention were communicated to the Russian Government (“the Government”) . C omplaints based on the same facts were also communicated under other provisions of the Convention.

The Government submitted a declaration with a view to resolving the issues raised by these complaints. They further requested the Court to strike out the application.

The Government acknowledged the inadequate conditions of the applicant ’ s detention from 1 June 2016 to 2 April 2018 . They offered to pay the applicant the amount detailed in the appended table and invited the Court to strike the application out of the list of cases in accordance with Article 37 § 1 (c) of the Convention. The amount would be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and would be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court ’ s decision. In the event of failure to pay this amount within the above-mentioned three-month period, the Government undertook to pay simple interest on it , from the expiry of that period until settlement, at a rate equal to the marginal lending rate of the European Central Bank during the default period plus three percentage points.

The payment will constitute the final resolution of the case .

The applicant informed the Court that he agreed to the terms of the declaration.

THE LAW

The Court finds that, following the applicant ’ s express agreement to the terms of the declaration made by the Government, the case should be treated as a friendly settlement between the parties.

It therefore takes note of the friendly settlement reached between the parties. It is satisfied that the settlement is based on respect for human rights as defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto and finds no reasons to justify the continued examination of the application in that part.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list as regards the complaints concerning the inadequate conditions of detention during the period covered by the declaration .

The applicant also complained about the conditions of his detention from 27 October 2015 to 1 June 2016 and from 2 April 2018 to 2 October 2019 and raised a complaint under Article 13 of the Convention.

The Court has examined the complaints and considers that, in the light of all the material in its possession and in so far as the matters complained of are within its competence, it does not meet the admissibility criteria set out in Articles 34 and 35 of the Convention.

It follows that this part of the application must be rejected in accordance with Article 35 § 4 of the Convention.

For these reasons, the Court, unanimously,

Decides to strike the application out of its list of cases in accordance with Article 39 of the Convention as regards the complaints concerning the inadequate conditions of detention during the period covered by the declaration of the Government ;

Declares the remainder of the application inadmissible.

Done in English and notified in writing on 10 June 2021 .
