French judge Mattias Guyomar has been elected as president of the European Court of Human Rights.
Judge Guyomar, who has served on the court since 2020 and as a section president since 2024, will succeed Slovenian judge Marko Bošnjak on 30 May 2025.
He is the third French judge to serve as president of the court and the first to serve since 2011.
He was born in July 1968, not long after the court’s first French president, Judge René Cassin, completed his term.
French judge Jean-Paul Costa served as the court’s president from 2007 to 2011.
British judges have served as presidents of the court on three occasions since it was founded – now tied with their French counterparts.
