Breaches of the European Convention on Human Rights Resulting from the Conduct of International Organisations

Abstract

This article looks at the jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights in relation to the responsibility of states for violations of Convention rights committed through acts of international organisations. The author begins with Matthews v. United Kingdom and considers the recent judgment of D. v. Turkey and the Grand Chamber admissibility decisions in Behrami and Behrami v. France and Saramati v. France, Germany and Norway in detail with reference to past decisions and decisions of the UK House of Lords.
