The index and summaries are not exhaustive and are to be used only for reference and as a supplementary tool for practitioners. In the index of keywords (A), the keywords, as well as the cases related to each keyword are arranged alphabetically. In the summaries (B through F) of cases relevant for each European convention, the cases are arranged chronologically. Articles of the Convention referred to in each list follow the numbering applicable at the time of the Court’s judgment or decision (i.e. before the renumbering of the Convention’s provisions following from some of the Protocols to the Convention in the earlier case law). Texts of judgments and decisions of the Court can be found in the HUDOC database (see below sub G). Some English translations of the Court’s judgments and decisions, originally delivered in French and available in the HUDOC database, are summaries of the original judgments and decisions and not the judgments and decisions in full. “[GC]” marks Grand Chamber judgments. 3 PC-OC (2011) 21 Rev13 Case Law by the European Court of Human Rights of Relevance for Application of the European Conventions on International Co-operation in Criminal Matters1 A.
