PARTLY DISSENTING OPINION OF MRS. G.H. THUNE
While I agree with the majority of the Commission that there has
been a violation of Articles 2 and 6 of the Convention in the present
case, I have voted against the conclusion that no separate issue arises
as regards the complaint under Article 13.
As I understand the applicant's complaints, he does not only
allege that he was denied effective access to court in order to seek
compensation, but also that there was a lack of an independent
investigation in order to try to establish the particular circumstances
of the killing of his brother. This seems to me to raise a broader
question than the one addressed by the majority in response to the
complaint under Article 6. Although the deficiencies in the
investigation carried out in the present case are to some extent
covered by the Commission's finding of a violation of Article 2, I
still consider this aspect of the case sufficiently serious to justify
an additional finding of a violation of Article 13.
Effective domestic remedies are, in my view, essential in order
to obtain respect for basic human rights. For this reason I find it
difficult to accept a restrictive interpretation of Article 13 of the
Convention. On this point I refer to my dissenting opinion in the case
of Sükran Aydin against Turkey (No. 23178/94, Comm. Rep. 7.3.96,
currently pending before the Court).
