Grand Chamber

AbstractThis article critically examines the recent decision of the Grand Chamber of the EctHR in Saadi v UK 2008. The decision endorses short-term detention of asylum seekers on the basis of administrative convenience, specifically ruling out a requirement of necessity. The decision is examined in the light of international law on the detention of asylum seekers and the requirements of proportionality and lack of arbitrariness. It is anticipated that the use of routine detention will increase across Europe and that asylum seekers will be lumped together with other migrants in policies aimed at further restricting access to the European club. This presents a serious threat to the international right to seek and enjoy asylum provided in Article 14 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

Special Protection

The right to equality and the prohibition of discrimination is normally formulated with respect to specific grounds. In the Charter of the United Nations, these are race, sex, language, and religion. The list was expanded in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, where it was also prefaced by the words ‘such as’ thereby recognising that distinctions based upon unenumerated categories might also be encompassed. These might include age, disability, and sexual orientation, for example. International law also provides special protection for children. Related to non-discrimination is the distinct field of protection of minorities, which are identifiable on the basis of ethnicity, language, and religion, and of indigenous peoples.

The U.S

The right to an education is guaranteed by international law in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Similarly, UNESCO’s Constitution sets out the right to an education as necessary to “prepare the children of the world for the responsibilities of freedom.” No such right is mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, though. Perhaps Congress or the Supreme Court would be sympathetic, however, to an argument for educational rights based on the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of the rights of citizenship.

Asylum Procedure

This chapter focuses on the concept of asylum. The meaning of the word ‘asylum’ tends to be assumed by those who use it, but its content is rarely explained. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights refers to ‘asylum from persecution’, the UN General Assembly urges the grant of asylum and observance of the principle of asylum, and many States’ constitutions and laws offer the promise of asylum, yet nowhere is this act of States defined. A distinction may be made between the clear, discretionary, sovereign right of States to grant asylum without it being considered a hostile act, which other States are bound to respect; and the individual right to asylum, which thus far has only been explicitly recognized in some regional human rights instruments and national constitutions, but not in any treaty applying universally. While individuals may not be able to claim a right to be granted asylum, States have a duty under international law not to obstruct the individual’s right to seek asylum. This includes the obligation to provide access to an asylum procedure (refugee status determination), which necessarily calls into question the legality of non-arrival and non-admission policies increasingly employed by States as tools of migration control.

Precise Content

The debate on the existence of universal human rights is always alive and involves not only the international law regime but also the enforcement of national laws as well as the relationship between cultural diversity and protection of human rights. It is a fact that not all the principles on human rights included in the major conventions and international acts on human rights come under the same regime, and so the idea of a distinction between conditional human rights rules and absolute human rights rules is not alien to the international mechanism sal, and for this reason its affirmation depends on the degree of acceptance of its principles. This acceptance has so far been much wider than one could imagine. Although it originally represented the point of view mainly of Western countries, the Universal Declaration has been successful as it immediately sought to give precise content to the commitments solemnly made by State with the approval of the United Nations Charter.
