Article 2 of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) protects the Right to Life that is invoked in an inquest where the diseased has expired in circumstances of custody or control by an agency of state. The High Court in 2012 ordered the second inquest in the Hillsborough case where the correct directions to the jury were read as to when there is a breach of such a duty. The inquest findings resulted in criminal charges being brought against two former senior police officers, who were indicted linked to the disaster. This paper examines the inquest process where there is a jury and considers the framework of the Coroners Court in the context of Article 2 where death has occurred under circumstances of duress.
《欧洲人权公约》（ECHR）第2条保护生命权，在死因调查中，若死者在国家机构的羁押或控制情况下死亡，该权利可被援引。2012年，高等法院下令对希尔斯堡惨案进行第二次死因调查，就何时存在此类义务的违反向陪审团给出了正确指示。死因调查结果导致对两名前高级警官提起刑事指控，他们被指控与这场灾难有关。本文审视了有陪审团参与的死因调查程序，并在第2条的背景下，即在胁迫情况下发生死亡的背景下，考量死因裁判法庭的框架。
