The European Court of Human Rights (First Section), sitting on 15 June 2023 as a Committee composed of:

Alena Poláčková , President , Gilberto Felici, Raffaele Sabato , judges ,

and Viktoriya Maradudina, Acting Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 12 November 2020,

Having regard to the formal declarations accepting a friendly settlement of the case,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

FACTS AND PROCEDURE

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

The applicant was represented by Mr J. Javadov, 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 her by the domestic authorities and the failure of the domestic authorities to execute the domestic court’s judgment ordering the lifting of that travel ban were communicated to the Azerbaijani Government (“the Government”).

The Court received the friendly-settlement declarations, signed by the parties, under which the applicant agreed to waive any further claims against Azerbaijan in respect of the facts giving rise to this application, subject to an undertaking by the Government to pay her the amounts detailed in the appended table. These amounts will be converted into the currency of the respondent State at the rate applicable on the date of payment, and will be payable within three months from the date of notification of the Court’s decision. In the event of failure to pay these amounts within the above ‑ mentioned three-month period, the Government undertake to pay simple interest on them, 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 Government also undertook to ensure the execution of the judgment of the domestic courts ordering the lifting of the travel ban imposed on the applicant.

The payment and execution of the judgment of the domestic courts ordering the lifting of the travel ban will constitute the final resolution of the case.

THE LAW

The Court 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 a continued examination of the application.

In view of the above, it is appropriate to strike the case out of the list.

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.

Done in English and notified in writing on 6 July 2023.
