Let X be a proper hyperbolic geodesic metric space and let G be a closed
subgroup of the isometry group Iso(X) of X. We show that if G is not amenable
then its second continuous bounded cohomology group with coefficients the
regular representation does not vanish. This yields some structure results for
such groups.
