86 A. AND OTHERS v. THE UNITED KINGDOM JUDGMENT VI. ALLEGED VIOLATION CONVENTION OF ARTICLE 5 § 5 OF THE 226. Finally, the applicants complained that, despite having been unlawfully detained in breach of Article 5 §§ 1 and 4, they had no enforceable right to compensation, in breach of Article 5 § 5, which provides: “Everyone who has been the victim of arrest or detention in contravention of the provisions of this Article shall have an enforceable right to compensation.” 227. The Government reasoned that there had been no breach of Article 5 in this case, so Article 5 § 5 did not apply. In the event that the Court did find a violation of Article 5, Article 5 § 5 required “an enforceable right to compensation”, but not that compensation be awarded in every case. Since the Secretary of State was found by the national courts reasonably to suspect that the applicants were “international terrorists”, as a matter of principle they were not entitled to compensation from the national courts. A. Admissibility 228. The Court notes that it has found a violation of Article 5 § 1 in respect of all the applicants except the second and fourth applicants, and that it has found a violation of Article 5 § 4 in respect of the first, third, fifth and tenth applicants. It follows that the second and fourth applicants’ complaints under Article 5 § 5 are inadmissible, but that the other applicants’ complaints are admissible. B. The merits 229. The Court notes that the above violations could not give rise to an enforceable claim for compensation by the applicants before the national courts. It follows that there has been a violation of Article 5 § 5 in respect of all the applicants, save the second and fourth applicants (see Brogan and Others v. the United Kingdom, 29 November 1988, § 67, Series A no. 145-B, and Fox, Campbell and Hartley, cited above, § 46). VII. ALLEGED VIOLATION OF ARTICLE 6 OF THE CONVENTION 230. The applicants argued in the alternative that the procedure before SIAC was not compatible with Article 6 §§ 1 and 2 of the Convention, which provide: “1. In the determination of his civil rights and obligations or of any criminal charge against him, everyone is entitled to a fair and public hearing within a reasonable time
