PARTLY DISSENTING OPINION OF JUDGE SIR VINCENT EVANS

I agree with the judgment of the Court that there was no violation of Article 3 (art. 3) or of Article 11 (art. 11) of the Convention.

I regret, however, that I disagree with the conclusion of the majority of the Court that Article 6 (art. 6) was violated. For the reasons already stated in my dissenting opinion in the case of Le Compte, Van Leuven and De Meyere and which it is therefore unnecessary to repeat, it is my view that Article 6 (art. 6) is not applicable in the present case because the proceedings complained of by the applicants were not concerned with the determination either of civil rights or obligations or of a criminal charge within the meaning of Article 6 (art. 6).
