Abstract
(en) Claimants in Al Skeini were Iraqi victims of the actions of British forces in the occupied territories who led the House of Lords to rule on the applicability of the European Convention on Human Rights to the occupying powers in Irak. The decisions of the English judges illustrate the difficulty of interpreting Bankovic and identifying the scope of Article 1 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Al Skeini cases could be an opportunity for the European Court of Human Rights to clarify its jurisprudence, possibly even to speak out for an extra-territorial application of the Convention based on a gradual approach similar as the one suggested in Bankovic.
