Over the past years there has been a significant intensification of efforts designed to eliminate the European Court of The Human Rights caseload. There were
numerous attempts to address this problem at various levels. These attempts were partially successful, although it would still be difficult to consider the issue resolved.
The author tries to present the problem of the ECtHR’s caseload as an issue affecting its overall functioning and effectiveness. Attention should be paid to the origins of the Court’s caseload. It is also necessary to examine the attempts made by the ECtHR to eliminate this issue and the mechanisms developed in this regard. These mechanisms may include joining applications and resolution of multiple
cases by a single judgment, simplified procedure, case management methods or focusing on the implementation of judgements.
