It will also improve the efficiency of the ECtHR by shortening the time limit from six to four months for applications and ensuring that all applications have been properly considered by\u202fdomestic courts.<\/li>\n<li>The Protocol will modify rules regarding the appointment and retirement\u00a0of\u00a0judges of the Court,\u00a0to enable them to serve for a full nine-year term and provide continuity. Currently, the upper age limit for ECtHR judges is the age of 70, with a requirement that candidates for the post of judge be less than 65 years of age at the date by which the list of candidates has been requested by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800000;\">*Tanvi Singh, Editorial Assistant has reported this brief.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Protocol no. 15 to the European Convention on Human Rights has come into force on August 1, 2021.
