European Court of Human Rights delivered judgment against Greece in CASE OF D.T. v. GREECE

On 1 September 2026 a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered judgment in CASE OF D.T. v. GREECE (application no. 51829/21).

On 1 September 2026 a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights delivered judgment in a case it titles “CASE OF D.T. v. GREECE”, brought against Greece under application no. 51829/21.

It recorded no violation of Article 13. Article 3 appears in both findings: the Court recorded a violation in one respect and no violation in another. Neither half of that is reported here without the other, and which limb is which is stated in the Court's conclusion below.

The Court states its conclusion as: “Violation of Article 3 - Prohibition of torture (Article 3 - Degrading treatment;Inhuman treatment) (Substantive aspect);No violation of Article 13+3 - Right to an effective remedy (Article 13 - Effective remedy) (Article 3 - Prohibition of torture;Degrading treatment;Inhuman treatment);Non-pecuniary damage - award (Article 41 - Non-pecuniary damage;Just satisfaction)”

The wording in quotation marks above is the Court's own conclusion, reproduced so that the finding can be checked against the record. It is not this service's summary of the judgment.

This record establishes that the Court delivered this judgment on 1 September 2026 and what it recorded as its findings. It does not establish anything about the underlying events beyond what the Court found, it does not report what either party said, and it does not state what follows for Greece or for anyone else. A Chamber judgment may be referred to the Grand Chamber and is not necessarily the end of the case.

Limits of this brief

Chamber and Grand Chamber judgments of the European Court of Human Rights, in English. Committee judgments are not reported: they apply well-established case-law to repetitive applications and are roughly two thirds of the Court's output by volume, so excluding them is a large omission and is stated here rather than left to be discovered. Decisions on admissibility, communicated cases, advisory opinions and legal summaries are not reported either. Where the Court found a violation on one limb of an article and none on another, that is reported as appearing in both findings; neither half is ever stated without the other. Case names are reproduced as the Court publishes them, including where they name an applicant and where the Court has anonymised one. This service makes no separate anonymisation decision. A judgment establishes what the Court decided on a date. It does not establish anything about the underlying events beyond the Court's own findings, it does not report what either party argued, and a Chamber judgment may still be referred to the Grand Chamber.
