ITALY     The European Court of Human Rights is holding a Grand Chamber hearing today, Wednesday   29   September 2010, at 9.15 a.m . in the case of Giuliani and Gaggio v. Italy (application no. 23458/02). The hearing will be broadcast from 2.30 p.m. on the Court’s Internet site ( www.echr.coe.int ).   The applicants, Giuliano Giuliani, his wife Adelaide Gaggio and their daughter Elena Giuliani, are Italian nationals who were born in 1938, 1944 and 1972 respectively and live in Genoa and Milan (Italy).   The application concerns the death of the applicants’ son and brother, Carlo   Giuliani, which occurred when he was involved in clashes during the G8 summit held in Genoa from 19 to 21 July 2001. Relying on Article 2 (right to life), the applicants alleged that Carlo’s death had been caused by excessive use of force, that the organisation of the operations to maintain and restore public order had been inadequate and that there had been no effective investigation into his death. Relying on Article 3 (prohibition of torture), they further argued that the failure to lend immediate assistance to Carlo after he had fallen and had been run over by a jeep had contributed to his death and amounted to inhuman treatment. They complained about the lack of an effective investigation also under Articles 6 (right to a fair hearing) and 13 (right to an effective remedy). They lastly alleged that the Italian Government had violated Article 38 (adversarial examination of the case) by failing to provide information to the Court or by submitting erroneous information.   The application was lodged with the European Court of Human Rights on 18 June 2002. A hearing was held in the Human Rights Building, Strasbourg, on 5 December 2006 and the application was declared admissible on 6 February 2007.   In its Chamber judgment of 25 August 2009 , the Court held, unanimously, that there had been no violation of Article 2 as regards the excessive use force; by five votes to two, that there had been no violation of Article 2 in respect of the State’s positive obligations to protect life; by four votes to three, that there had been a violation of Article 2 in respect of the procedural obligations under that Article; and, unanimously, that there had been no violation of Article 38. It also held, unanimously, that it did not need to examine the case under Articles 3, 6 and 13.   On 1 March 2010 the panel of five judges of the Grand Chamber decided to accept the requests for referral to the Grand Chamber submitted by the Italian Government and by the applicants.   The case will be heard by the Grand Chamber composed as follows:       Jean-Paul Costa (France), President , Christos Rozakis (Greece), Françoise Tulkens (Belgium), Ireneu Cabral Barreto (Portugal), Boštjan M.
