Inhuman and degrading treatment in the hands of the police
In the present article, the author analyses, in the human rights context, the use of force by the police officers and points out the cases in which this becomes inhuman treatment. Paying particular attention to the Romanian system (by summarizing the Court’s judgment in the case of Ghiţă v. Romania, 2012), the author criticizes the lack of measures needed to change these frequent situations contrary to the Convention and tries to explain some of the implications.
