Convention rights and issues I need to consider

Articles 2 Right to life, 3 Prohibition of torture, 8 Respect for private and family life, 14 Prohibition of discrimination

• Is there a justification for use of force (defence of self or others, effecting an arrest, quelling a riot)?
• Is the force strictly necessary and proportionate to the aim pursued, or could lesser force achieve the desired result?
• Does the force amount to torture or inhuman treatment?
• Have any injuries been promptly examined by a doctor?
• Are adequate records being kept against the possible need for an enquiry into the circumstances of the use of force?
