Al-Jedda Case: UK House of Lords unanimously dismiss the action

The Lords of Appeal dismiss the appeal brought by a national of both Iraqi and British citizenship who had been detained by UK forces in Iraq in October 2004. Among others, Al-Jedda claimed that his detention violated his right to liberty as provided by the ECHR. The decision involves a high number of important, yet very contentious issues of international human rights protection.
