Has the applicant complied with admissibility criteria provided for by Article 35 §§ 2 (b) and § 3 (a) of the Convention? In particular:

- Is the applicant’s application lodged with the Court substantially the same as a matter that has already been submitted to the United Nations Human Rights Committee (“HRC”) (see Smirnova v. Russia (dec.) nos. 46133/99 and 48183/99, 3 October 2002, and Vojnovic v. Croatia (dec.), no. 4819/10, §§ 26-32, 26 June 2012)?

- Did the applicant abuse his right of individual petition by not informing the Court of the application to the HRC (see , mutatis mutandis, Gross v. Switzerland [GC], no. 67810/10, §§ 27-37, ECHR 2014; Gevorgyan and Others v. Armenia (dec.), no. 66535/10, §§ 31-39, 14 January 2020; and Safaryan v. Armenia (dec.), no. 16346/10, §§ 26-31, 14 January 2020)?

The parties are invited to submit any relevant documents related to the proceedings before the HRC in respect of the applicant and inform the Court where the proceedings stand now.
