Identifying obesity in acute medical admissions
Questions Relating to the Obligation to Prosecute or Extradite (Belgium v Senegal)
The desire to prosecute Hissène Habré for crimes of torture committed during his eight year presidency of Chad has led to a stream of national and international litigation. Habré, who has taken refuge in neighbouring Senegal since being ousted from office in December 1990, has been linked to systematic acts of torture, murders and disappearances during his time as president. A Chadian National Commission of Inquiry, established by the Ministry of…
Jurisdictional Immunities of the State: Germany v Italy
In a disappointing judgment for human rights activists, the International Court of Justice (ICJ or ‘Court’) appears to have hammered the final nail in the coffin1 on the possibility that a state can be sued for serious violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law in the national courts of another state. In its judgment in the Jurisdictional Immunities (Germany v Italy, Greece Intervening) case, the ICJ held that the…
SP1-69 Blood pressure and obesity in Emirati children and adolescents
Objectives Although obesity is fast increasing, there are few data on the prevalence of high-normal or elevated blood pressure in United Arab Emirates. Methods We conducted a school-based survey of a representative sample of youth (n=1524) aged 12 to 18 years in Al Ain, UAE. BP measurements were made with a manual sphygmomanometer by trained nurses. Additional measures included height, weight, and abdominal circumference. BMI ≥85th and ≥95th perc…
Immunities of State Officials, International Crimes, and Foreign Domestic Courts
This article examines the extent to which state officials are subject to prosecution in foreign domestic courts for international crimes. We consider the different types of immunity that international law accords to state officials, the reasons for the conferment of this immunity and whether they apply in cases in which it is alleged that the official has committed an international crime. We argue that personal immunity (immunity ratione personae…
From Westminster to Strasbourg: A and others v United Kingdom
One would have assumed after the 2004 judgment of the House of Lords in A and others v Secretary of State for Home Affairs (‘Belmarsh’)1 that there would be no room for further judicial criticism of the Part IV, Anti-Terrorism Crime and Security Act 2001 2 (ATCSA) regime of indefinite (or as the UK government termed it: ‘indeterminate’) detention, facilitated by a derogation 3 from Article 5(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR or …
The Human Rights Committee and Military Trials of Civilians: Madani v Algeria

The UK's Anti-Terror Legislation and the House of Lords: The First Skirmish
The fallout from the terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 has extended across the globe and among the many victims have been the human rights of ‘suspected terrorists’. Legislation passed in response to the attacks by the UK 1 has been criticised on human rights grounds in many quarters, 2 and some of the most trenchant criticism has come from the UK House of Lords in its judgment in the case of A (FC) and others; (X)FC and another v Secretary …

Products were stored in the dark at 4°C and analysed before their…
