On the first anniversary of the Alseran case, where it was found that detainees in British military custody in Iraq had suffered inhuman and degrading treatment, and had been unlawfully detained, the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Leigh Day Solicitors are holding a seminar to discuss the implications of recent case law on British military detention in Iraq.
It will bring together scholars and practitioners in international human rights law and international humanitarian law for two panel discussions. The first panel will place the Alseran case in context, with contributions from a former Army Legal Services legal adviser, and from Leigh Day about the litigation against the Ministry of Defence.
It will be followed by a critical assessment of recent investigations and prevention efforts, with contributions from scholars on the regulation of detention in armed conflicts, on military training in international humanitarian law, and on the Ministry of Defence’s investigations, in the context of the preliminary examination by the Office of the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court.
