The court declared the applicants' detention unlawful after making convention (torture) claims and refused to grant an interim stay of the effect of its judgment; while a court may stay a declaration, such a stay does not negate the judgment's role as this court's authoritative statement of the law, and therefore an interim stay of the judgment's effect was inappropriate in the circumstances.
