Abstract

Incommunicado detention is established as an exceptional regime of temporary limitation of rights. The ECtHR in the case Atristain Gorosabel vs. Spain requires the existence of relevant and sufficient grounds for adopting this regime. In this specific case, Spain was condemned for violation of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The enforcement of this jurisprudential doctrine generates certain indirect effects in procedural practice. This article presents some examples and assesses possible future developments.
