Being 'realistic' about human rights
Is the Prohibition against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment Really ‘Absolute’ in International Human Rights Law? A Reply to Graffin and Mavronicola
In two articles published in this journal, I argued that the prohibition against torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment is not genuinely absolute in international human rights law as almost universally supposed. Neil Graffin and Natasa Mavronicola have recently offered critiques. But each, regrettably, suffers from three fatal defects: most of my arguments are simply ignored, I have already thoroughly explored every single one of those a…
Human Rights, the Cyprus Problem and the Immovable Property Commission
This article critically examines the role of the Immovable Property Commission, established in 2005 by the ‘Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus’ under pressure from the European Court of Human Rights, to redress losses sustained by Greek Cypriots who fled south when the island was partitioned in the mid-1970s. While the Commission has been a modest success, proceedings have been lengthy, its decisions lack transparency, there have been difficulti…
Is the Prohibition against Torture, Cruel, Inhuman and Degrading Treatment Really ‘Absolute’ in International Human Rights Law
A cardinal axiom of international human rights law is that the prohibition against torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment is absolute in the sense that no exception can be accepted, defended, justified, or tolerated in any circumstance whatever. Yet, for several reasons this is deeply problematic. For a start, since absoluteness is not an express, inherent, self-evident, or necessary feature of the provisions in question, this status is …
Reply to Marie Breen-Smyth, “Theorising the ‘suspect community’
Marie Breen-Smyth’s recent contribution to the “suspect community” debate misunderstands and misrepresents my own and suffers from several other difficulties besides. I’m grateful to the editor of Critical Studies on Terrorism for the opportunity to make this brief reply
Should Police Threats to Torture Suspects Always be Severely Punished? Reflections on the Gafgen Case
In Gäfgen v Germany the majority of a Chamber of the European Court of Human Rights affirmed that police threats to torture suspects always violate Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, but that in certain circumstances such as those presented by this case, charging and convicting but leniently punishing the officers concerned provides adequate redress. A majority of the Grand Chamber held that, on the contrary, such violations sh…

The European Convention on Human Rights
This book critically appraises the European Convention on Human Rights as it faces some daunting challenges. It argues that the Convention's core functions have subtly changed, particularly since the ending of the Cold War, and that these are now to articulate an 'abstract constitutional model' for the entire continent, and to promote convergence in the operation of public institutions at every level of governance. The implications - from nationa…
De‐centralised policing in Spain
The Autonomous Basque Police (Ertzaintza) is one of the newest police forces in Europe, and one of the many products of the liberalisation, democratisation and de‐centralisation of the Spanish state since the death of Franco in 1975. This article traces its historical origins from the early modern period, discusses its key characteristics, explains the complicated legal framework which surrounds it, and reviews the debate about its current proble…
The Criminal Process
Preventive Detention and Public Security
Supergrasses
In the first half of the 1980s a succession of high profile and deeply controversial trials took place in Northern Ireland on the evidence of `supergrasses' from loyalist and republican paramilitary organisations prepared to betray large numbers of their former alleged confederates in return for immunity from prosecution or lenient sentences and new identities outside Northern Ireland. This, the first thoroughly-researched book-length study of th…
Towards a Sociological Model of the Police Informant
The Right to Silence, Defence Disclosure, and Confession Evidence
The Runciman Commission has been widely, and rightly, criticized for its failure to address basic matters of purpose and principle at the heart of the criminal justice system and for having instead adopted a 'managerial' or 'liberal bureaucratic' approach incapable of generating the kind of comprehensive review which was required.' While it cannot seriously be denied that efficiency and the reduction of costs are legitimate matters of concern, th…

Miscarriages of Criminal Justice Reconsidered
The Right to Silence
Locus of Control and Adjustment to Cancer
The English form of the Cancer Locus of Control Scale was administered to an heterogeneous sample of 68 cancer patients. A principal components analysis confirmed the three subscales described in the original Dutch form, however, with five items excluded. Correlations with other measures indicated that high internal control over the course of the illness was associated with a tendency to adopt an attitude toward cancer of 'fighting spirit' wherea…
