European Court of Human Rights

FIFTH SECTION

DECISION

Application no. 30793/06
Volodymyr Mykolayovych KRAVCHUK
against Ukraine

The European Court of Human Rights (Fifth Section), sitting on 13 March 2012 as a Committee composed of:

Mark Villiger, President,
Karel Jungwiert,
André Potocki, judges,
and Stephen Phillips, Deputy Section Registrar,

Having regard to the above application lodged on 19 July 2006,

Having deliberated, decides as follows:

THE FACTS

The applicant, Mr Volodymyr Mykolayovych Kravchuk, is a Russian national who was born in 1964 and lives in Kaliningrad. The Ukrainian Government (“the Government”) were represented by their Agent, Ms Valeria Lutkovska.

The applicant complained about lengthy non-enforcement of the domestic court’s judgment given in his favour. This complaint was communicated to the Government, who submitted a unilateral declaration to settle the case. The declaration was forwarded to the applicant, who was invited to submit his comments. No reply followed.

By registered letter sent on 26 September 2011 the applicant was warned that his application might be struck out of the Court’s list of cases pursuant to Article 37 § 1 (a) of the Convention. No reply followed either.

THE LAW

The Court considers that, in these circumstances, the applicant may be regarded as no longer wishing to pursue his application, within the meaning of 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 human rights as defined in the Convention and its Protocols which require the continued examination of the case.

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.
