Конвенція розрізняє два види заяв: індивідуальні, які подаються будь-якою особою чи групою осіб, компанією чи неурядовою організацією стосовно порушення їх прав; та міждержавні заяви, подані однієї державою проти іншої. З часу заснування Суду майже всі заяви до нього подавалися приватними особами, які безпосередньо зверталися до Суду зі скаргами на одне чи декілька порушень Конвенції.
