The Court notes at the outset the Government's argument that, in order to exhaust domestic remedies, the remaining applicants should have instituted civil and administrative proceedings to obtain redress for the alleged breach of Article 3. It reiterates, however, that in the area of unlawful use of force by State agents, civil or administrative proceedings aimed solely at awarding damages, rather than ensuring the identification and punishment of those responsible, are not adequate and effective remedies capable of providing redress for complaints based on the substantive aspect of Article 3 of the Convention (see Pihoni v. Albania, no. 74389/13, § 68, 13 February 2018, and Kyriacou Tsiakkourmas and Others v. Turkey, no. 13320/02, § 252, 2 June 2015).
