Seeking The Final Court Of Justice: The European Court Of Human Rights And Accountability For State Violence In Northern Ireland, Christopher K. Connolly Nov 2007

Seeking The Final Court Of Justice: The European Court Of Human Rights And Accountability For State Violence In Northern Ireland, Christopher K. Connolly

San Diego International Law Journal

This article examines the impact of the European Court's right to life jurisprudence on the issue of accountability for state violence in Northern Ireland. To date, the initiatives undertaken by the United Kingdom to comply with the European Court's rulings are largely unsatisfactory. Piecemeal institutional reforms aimed at preventing future breaches of Article 2 have failed to fully address the underlying concerns identified by the Court, and domestic right to life jurisprudence has placed significant limitations on the extent to which past violations of the right to life can be dealt with effectively in British courts.

Ireland Goes Bananas: Irish Insider Trading Law And Price-Sensitive Information After Fyffes V. Dcc, Jeremiah Burke Jan 2007

Ireland Goes Bananas: Irish Insider Trading Law And Price-Sensitive Information After Fyffes V. Dcc, Jeremiah Burke

While Fyffes was not a sympathetic plaintiff, the Irish statutory focus on price-sensitive information …
