Election of a new judge of the European Court of Human Rights from Poland01.10.2024On 1 October 2024, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe elected Dr. Anna Adamska-Gallant as a judge of the European Court of Human Rights.
The selection was made from a list of three candidates, which also included Dr. Hab. Małgorzata Wąsek-Wiaderek and Dr. Hab. Adam Wiśniewski. This ended the impasse in the procedure for selecting a Polish judge of the European Court of Human Rights conducted since 2020. The term of office of the current judge, Prof. Dr. Hab. Krzysztof Wojtyczek, formally ended on 31 October 2021, but in accordance with the provisions of the Convention, it was extended until the new judge takes up the position – which will probably happen within months of her election. Until now, the office of judge of the Strasbourg Court has been held by Prof. Dr. Hab. Jerzy Makarczyk (1992 – 2002), Prof. Dr. Hab. Lech Garlicki (2002 – 2012) and Prof. Dr. Hab. Krzysztof Wojtyczek (dated 2012 to the present). Moreover, attorney Marek Antoni Nowicki (1993-1999) served on behalf of Poland on the European Commission of Human Rights.
