A historical probe into Northern Ireland's internment policy has concluded that the British Government was found guilty of torture.
However, the same document records that security forces were given free hand to carry out acts of violence and abuse against detainees.
According to reports circulating today, the full text is not due to be officially published in London or Dublin until next Thursday.
The findings have drawn criticism regarding the lack of access for politicians to give evidence to the Commission during its proceedings.
Analysts note that while the initial inquiry was only partially successful at the time, it did have considerable effect on the Irish Government's decision to take the cases to the European Court.
The current document serves as a definitive record of these historical events and the legal conclusions reached by the body.
No further immediate action is confirmed pending the official release of the full report next week.
