Case of Ireland v. The United Kingdom ECtHR 5310/71
The European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) has rejected the Irish government’s request to find that the maltreatment of 14 detainees, by the British state during the Troubles, amounted to torture.
Dismissing the request by 6 votes to 1, the ECtHR said that the original judgment, which found that the treatment of the men was inhumane and degrading but not torture, should still stand.
