Mantouvalou on the N. v. United Kingdom

By Lawrence Solum

Virginia Mantouvalou (University of Leicester - Faculty of Law) has posted N v UK: No Duty to Rescue the Nearby Needy? on SSRN. Here is the abstract:

This article discusses the deportation of a seriously ill foreign national to her country of origin, where she would face a high risk of extreme deterioration of her health due to the inadequate medical treatment. It criticises the reasoning of the judgment N. v. UK of the European Court of Human Rights, and explores the circumstances under which removal of a severely ill non-national constitutes a breach of the prohibition against inhuman and degrading treatment under the European Convention on Human Rights.
