Council of Europe Expulsion and the European Convention on Human Rights: The Foundations of Involuntary Treaty Withdrawal
Article 58 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) contains a provision which allows for the involuntary withdrawal, or expulsion, of a State from the ECHR if it has been expelled from, or ceased to be a member of, the Council of Europe (CoE). By comparing Russia's exit from the ECHR in 2022 with that of Greece in 1969, this article demonstrates that involuntary withdrawal poses a number of legal problems—partly as a result of it not ha…
Reservations to human rights treaties in recommendations from the universal periodic review: An emerging practice
The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process of the UN Human Rights Council has issued thousands of recommendations to States undergoing the review process. An increasing number of them concern legal subjects and this article explores recommendations in relation to reservations to human right treaties. Although the UPR process was designed to be distinct to treaty bodies UPR recommendations are increasingly overlapping with their work. The UPR pro…
Understanding the causes and consequences of British exceptionalism towards the European Court of Human Rights
The United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union has overshadowed the increasingly fraught relationship the country has with the European Court of Human Rights. In recent years this has been heavily influenced by British exceptionalism among key policy makers. British exceptionalism, this paper argues, is opposition to the European Court of Human Rights characterised by the belief that the UK’s domestic constitutional institutions are unique and…
Collapsing Legitimacy: How the Crime of Aggression Could Affect the icc’s Legitimacy
The International Criminal Court ( icc ) will gain the capacity to prosecute the crime of aggression in 2017. The Amendments to the Rome Statute are the product of a political compromise and have a complex legal structure with a high definitional threshold for an act of aggression alongside a bespoke jurisdictional arrangement. This legal structure is likely to mean that very few acts of aggression are considered crimes. Even when acts of aggress…
Inherent Imperialism
Since 2008 the International Criminal Court has been subject to criticism for being somehow imperialist and some criticism of the Court has pursued a distinctly anti-imperialist narrative. Whilst such criticism is often motivated by political considerations, this article examines whether such narrative can be to a certain extent due to some provisions of the Rome Statute itself, rather than the contingent choices made by Court organs. This involv…
The Death of the Southern African Development Community Tribunal's Human Rights Jurisdiction
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) is a regional economic community in southern Africa consisting of fifteen Member States1 with a stated aim of creating a ‘Free Trade Area’ among its Members. SADC’s Tribunal (‘the Tribunal') in Windhoek had the capacity, until the summer of 2010, to hear individual applications from the SADC Member States on human rights matters. The Tribunal was meant to act in cases where an individual’s human r…

Preventing coups in Africa: Attempts at the protection of human rights and constitutions
There are currently a number of legal mechanisms within African regional organisations aimed at deterring military coups and unconstitutional changes of government. Constitutional uncertainties within post-colonial legal systems and the growth of regional security initiatives led to the creation of these mechanisms, and as recent practice shows they are playing an increasingly important role in the protection of human rights. Using contemporary c…
