  • El caso Pinochet, oficialmente «Regina v Bow Street Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate, ex parte Pinochet Ugarte 3 WLR 1,456 (H.L. 1998)», fue un polémico caso suscitado ante la Cámara de los Lores, que consistió en decidir si el exdictador chileno Augusto Pinochet podría reclamar la inmunidad de jurisdicción a partir de las denuncias de tortura formuladas por un tribunal español y, por tanto, evadir su extradición a España.

  • El caso Pinochet, oficialmente «Regina v Bow Street Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate, ex parte Pinochet Ugarte 3 WLR 1,456 (H.L. 1998)», fue un polémico caso suscitado ante la Cámara de los Lores, que consistió en decidir si el exdictador chileno Augusto Pinochet podría reclamar la inmunidad de jurisdicción a partir de las denuncias de tortura formuladas por un tribunal español y, por tanto, evadir su extradición a España. El caso es significativo en una serie de áreas, incluyendo el derecho penal internacional, el derecho internacional de los derechos humanos y la relación entre el derecho internacional y el derecho interno. El fallo es también importante por la decisión posterior de la Cámara de los Lores, sin precedentes, de anular el juicio debido a la posibilidad de sesgo en uno de sus jueces.​ (es)
  • R (Pinochet Ugarte) v Bow St Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate [2000] 1 AC 61, 119 and 147 is a set of three UK constitutional law judgments by the House of Lords that examined whether former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet was entitled to claim state immunity from torture allegations made by a Spanish court and therefore avoid extradition to Spain. They have proven to be of landmark significance in international criminal law and human rights law. In the first judgment, a panel of 5 judges ruled that Pinochet, as a former head of state, was not entitled to immunity from prosecution for the crimes of torture and could therefore be extradited to Spain to face charges. However, in a subsequent judgment that was to prove controversial, the ruling was set aside (R v Bow Street Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate, ex parte Pinochet Ugarte (No 2) (Pinochet II) following revelations that one of the Law Lords had links to one of the intervenors in the case, Amnesty International, thereby creating an appearance of bias. A new panel of judges (R v Bow Street Metropolitan Stipendiary Magistrate, ex parte Pinochet Ugarte (No 3) (Pinochet III) subsequently affirmed that Pinochet was not entitled to state immunity but that acts committed outside of British territories could only be prosecuted under national law if committed after the passage of section 134 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (which gave UK courts universal jurisdiction over crimes of torture).
