- W26276778 abstract "On 22nd July 2005 an unarmed, white Brazilian, Jean Charles de Menezes, was shot seven times in the head by an elite firearms unit of the Metropolitan Police. Later it was discovered that the fatal shooting was a mistake: the deceased was not the black, North African man, Hussein Osman, who had participated in one of the failed London suicide bombings the day before. By virtue of the Human Rights Act 1998, Article 2 of the European Convention on Human Rights has been incorporated into UK Law. This Article permits the intentional deprivation of life only where the use of lethal force is for a legitimate aim and “absolutely necessary” (as per Article 2(2)). Moreover, it imposes a positive obligation on the state to protect life (as per Article 2(1)). This article assesses the controversial de Menezes shooting in the light of these two issues and, on balance, finds that the killing was lawful. However, notwithstanding this finding, it goes on to question whether the standard of this positive duty should be more favourable to state authorities in cases of suicide bombings, reflecting a more general obligation on them to protect the public at large from acts of terrorism." @default.
