ArmInfo. During a session on January 28, the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) elected Vahe Grigoryan  as  judge of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) in respect of Armenia. 

"Mr. Vahe Grigoryan, having obtained a majority of votes cast, is  elected  judge of the European Court of Human Rights for a term of  office of nine years, which shall commence no later than three months  after his election.  Judges are elected by PACE from a list of three  candidates nominated by each State which has ratified the European  Convention on Human Rights," the statement published on the PACE  website says.

Recall that in August 2023, a commission was established to choose a  judge to represent Armenia at the ECHR. Armenia has put forward Vahe  Grigoryan, Nora Karapetyan and Anna Margaryan as nominees for the  position. The appointment  process is regulated by the Prime Minister  of Armenia.
