Yay Me!
Finally got 100 off-prints today of an earlier article I wrote last summer and fall, an analysis of extraterritorial application of regional human rights treaties. I wrote this sucker with consultation from a dutch attorney who argued the Bankovic case (NATO vs. Yugoslavian nationals) in Strasbourg (albeit on the losing side - Yugoslavia). The article is an analysis of the ECHR’s divergent case law in the application of Europe’s human rights treaty to alleged violations by European nations abroad, whether in Europe or in non-European nations. The crux of my analysis focused on a prediction regarding the UK’s responsibility for the torture and murder of an Iraqi national in Basra, a case which ultimately went to the High Court of England and Wales in which the UK was found to be liable for the murder, which I correctly predicted. Yay me! (OK I’m done patting myself on my shoulder).
