Correspondence between the Kurdish Litigation Project team and the European Court of Human Rights pertaining to negotiations for a friendly settlement in the Demir and Yaşa cases, plus contracts to be signed by the applicants and their representatives. On 5 December 2002, a friendly settlement was reached in which the Turkish Government paid Demir and Yaşa £116,000 sterling and £89,000 sterling in damages, respectively, and declared ‘that the occurrence of deaths and of grievous injury in the present case and the inadequate investigations that followed constituted a violation of Articles 2 and 13 of the Convention.’ The full judgment (in French) is available for viewing at https://hudoc.echr.coe.int/eng?i=001-65367
