Human Rights Over-ruled by UN Resolution

 Human Rights - Right to Liberty - Suspected Terrorist

R (Al-Jedda) v Secretary of State for Defence [2006] EWCA Civ 327
CA
29 March 2006
Daily Law Notes Report Summary

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1546 gave the
multi-national force in occupied Iraq power to intern people for
imperative reasons of security. That power embraced people of
every nationality whose internment was deemed necessary. The
essence of internment was clearly inconsistent with the due
process requirements of art 5(1) of the European Convention on
Human Rights, but Resolution 1546 qualified any obligations
contained in human rights conventions in so far as it was in
conflict with them.
