Article 2 of the ECHR can also impose a positive obligation on the State to protect life - see Osman v UK (2000) 29 EHRR 245. In its most basic form this requires states to have criminal justice systems that punish and deter homicide. However, it can also include an operational obligation on states to take preventative measures to protect individuals when their life is at risk from other individuals or from suicide. This obligation is not as broad as it sounds, as liability will only attach to state authorities if [...]but failed to take appropriate measures.
Answer
they knew, or ought to have known, that there was a real and immediate risk to life
