Agora on the Al-Jedda and Al-Skeini judgments from the European Court of Human Rights on the conduct of UK forces in Iraq. Al-Jedda concerns detention by UK forces and address several issues such as: (1) was the conduct of these forces attributatble to the UK or the United Nations? (2) did UN Security Council Resolution 1546 justify/permit detention in circumstances not covered by article 5 ECHR on deprivation of liberty and therefore displace, qualify, or derogate from this ECHR provision? Al-Skeini concerns the death of six Iraquis during the period of British occupation giving rise to the following questions: (1) the scope of extraterritorial application of the ECHR; (2) the scope and extent of the duty to investigate possible breaches of article 2 ECHR on the right to life as a consequence of the conduct of armed forces in an occupied territory, where international humanitarian law applies.
