ECHR rejects Irish request to find torture in 1978 judgment against UK

– The European Court of Human Rights has rejected a request by Ireland to revise a 1978 judgment1 and find that men detained by the United Kingdom during Northern Ireland’s civil strife suffered torture, not just inhuman and degrading treatment. – Ireland made the revision request in the case (application no. 5310/71) on the grounds that new evidence had emerged, which showed, in particular, that the effects of the ill-treatment had been long-term and severe. – The Court found that the Government of Ireland had not demonstrated the existence of facts that were unknown to the Court at the time or which would have had a decisive influence on the original judgment. There was therefore no justification to revise the judgment. – The revision request was dismissed by six votes to one by a Chamber2. The judge elected in respect of Ireland issued a dissenting opinion. – The men involved in the case were detained in 1971. They had had to spread-eagle themselves against the wall in a strained position, were hooded, deprived of food and sleep and subjected to a continuous, loud hissing noise. The methods were known as the “five techniques” in the original judgment.Click here to download the press release.
