Abstract
Custodial torture and extrajudicial killings represent severe violations of human rights, reflecting an abuse of power by government authorities. These practices not only undermine the rule of law but also erode public trust in the justice system. This article explores the legal framework governing the liability of government authorities involved in such heinous acts, examining both domestic and international legal principles. Through a comprehensive analysis of case law, statutory provisions, and human rights conventions, this paper aims to provide a nuanced understanding of the accountability mechanisms in place and the challenges in enforcing them.
