The article considers profiling the identity of the offender as a method of countering terrorist threats. Profiling a terrorist is of particular value for achieving a prognostic function — identifying a person prone to committing a terrorist crime. At the same time, it is based on the collection of personal data of almost every citizen of the country, which carries significant discriminatory risks and contributes to serious restrictions on human rights. Such activities require the establishment of special public control.

This chapter considers the influence of the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights in Africa. It seeks to show how the Covenant as interpreted by the UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights has, through the fifty years since its adoption, influenced the regional and domestic protection of economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) in Africa. The chapter begins by considering the influence of the Covenant on the regional protection of human rights in Africa, followed by an analysis of the influence of the Covenant on the protection of ESCR in the domestic legal systems of African States, focusing primarily on the constitutional protection of ESCR. It then considers the limited influence of the Covenant on national courts’ jurisprudence in African States that apply dualist and monist approaches to international treaties. The chapter ends by making recommendations to maximize the future influence of the Covenant.

Protocol No. 16 to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which came into force in August 2018, enables the member States to request the European Court of Human Rights to give advisory opinions on questions of principle relating to the interpretation and application of the rights and freedoms defined in the Convention and the Protocols thereto. The German Government does not consider it necessary to sign and ratify Protocol No. 16 at the moment referring to the well-developed constitutional protection of Human rights in Germany. This article critically assesses this view and argues that the possibility to apply to the Court for advisory opinions can contribute to making Human rights protection in Germany more effective.
