A/HRC/16/21 E. Right to life 32. On 27 January 2010, the Court delivered final judgements in two cases concerning unjustified killings by State agents in the context of the 1996 Greek-Cypriot demonstrations and the lack of an effective investigation into those killings (violation of article 2 of the ECHR) - Andreou v. Turkey and Kallis and Androulla Panayi v. Turkey54. Because of their similarities, both are being considered by the CoE CMD in the same group as the cases of Solomou and others v. Turkey (2008) and Isaak v. Turkey (2008). Regarding the latter, information is awaited on the regulatory framework governing the use of force and firearms by the police and on the measures taken to ensure that effective investigations are carried out into the killings of civilians in the northern part of Cyprus55. As regards the lack of effective investigation into killings, the Ministers’ Deputies took note at their September 2010 meeting that information is awaited as to whether investigations into the killings have been opened, and if so as to their results, as well as an action plan/action report in respect of all cases in the group56. 33. As regards the case of Kakoulli v. Turkey (2006)57, CoE CMD at its 1078th meeting recalled that the Cypriot authorities had indicated that it would be possible to carry out a further forensic examination of Mr. Kakoulli’s body. The Committee considered that the competent Turkish authorities should reassess the possibility of carrying out a new investigation into the death of Mr. Kakoulli and invited them to submit information in this respect 58 . On 26 March 2010 the Turkish authorities provided the desired information, which is being assessed by the CoE CMD. Regarding the excessive use of force and firearms, the Deputies noted that it had not been clear from the information provided that the regulatory framework governing the use of firearms by the security forces requires that the use of force must be “absolutely necessary” and invited the Turkish authorities to provide clarifications in this respect. Bilateral contacts are under way concerning the questions identified by the Committee59. 34. CoE CMD at its March 2010 meeting decided to close the examination of the Adali v. Turkey case (2005)60, after having satisfied itself that, within the time limit set, Turkey had paid the applicant the just satisfaction provided in the judgement61. 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 10 The case of Andreou v.
