Article 2 Investigations

Investigations of deaths in custody engage Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the right to life. This means that the investigation of the death must satisfy certain requirements. This page contains links to Article 2-compliant investigation reports which have been published, but it should be noted that not all such reports are ever published.
