Abstract
Nait-Liman v. Switzerland invited the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg to consider whether a denial of municipal civil jurisdiction in a case involving allegations of torture committed outside of the forum State was a disproportionate interference to Article 6(1) ECHR.

This misunderstanding in turn led to the respondent State being conferred a margin of appreciation in the proportionality assessment that was based upon doctrinally flawed methodological reasoning.
