Summary/Abstract: According to the jurisprudence of the Court, to come within the scope of Article 3 ill-treatment must attain a minimum level of severity. The assessment of this minimum is relative in nature and it depends on all facts of the case, including the duration of treatment, its physical and mental effects and, sometimes, sex, age and health status of the victim (see, among others, Ireland v. United Kingdom, January 18, 1978, Series A No. 25, p. 65, § 162; Case of Peers v. Greece April 19, 2001, § 67).
