The exclusion of a Member State from the Council of Europe is an international legal sanction subject to international judicial review, of an indirect nature (with only one exception), carried out either within the Council of Europe (by the European Court of Human Rights and the Administrative Tribunal) or from outside (by the International Court of Justice), both by the contentious function and by the advisory function of the international court (with only one exception). Judicial review never leads directly to the annulment of the exclusion act or to the reinstatement of the State as a Member of the Council of Europe.

At the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, the European Court of Human Rights ruled and then extended the decision to suspend part of its activity, as well as certain procedural time-limits, including time-limit for referral to the Court through the means of a state or an individual application. These measures do not comply with the European Convention on Human Rights, nor with the Rules of the Court. The control of the regularity of these measures may be exercised by the judicial formations of the Court, acting in the specific cases.
