I am a citizen of Turkey, not of the EU. I worked in Ireland with a Critical Skills Employment Permit.
I sued my employer for Workplace Discrimination. I decided that the case was not dealt with properly. After I exhaust all the internal procedures, I am planning to apply to European Court of Human Rights - ECHR. But I read that "People can go to ECHR only against the countries of their own".
Is this correct? Do I have the right to go to the ECHR?
According to this pamphlet (see page 5), no, you do not need to be a citizen of the EU country.
What are the conditions relating to me personally?
You do not need to be a national of one of the States bound by the Convention. The violation you are complaining of must simply have been committed by one of those States against a person within its “jurisdiction”, which usually means on its territory
