Sažetak
The paper considers the position of non-governmental organisations as applicants before the European Court of Human Rights and the concept of actio popularis in the light of the recent practice of the European Court of Human Rights. The first part of the paper analyses the institution of proceedings before the European Court of Human Rights, with an emphasis on two key elements of individual applications: the category of possible applicants and the status of the victim. In the second part, the paper analyses the position of non-governmental organisations in international law, paying special attention to their position before international judicial mechanisms. The central part of the paper is an analysis of the judgment in the case of the Centre for Legal Resources on behalf of Valentin Campeanu v. Romania. This judgment marks a major step forward in human rights protection of the most vulnerable groups before the European Court of Human Rights. This judgment also opened discussion on the concept of actio popularis before this Court.
