The Baha Mousa case

European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR)

Six Iraqi civilians were killed by UK soldiers during the Iraq war, one of them being Baha Mousa, a receptionist at a nearby hotel. Subsequently Baha Mousa's father pursued legal avenues against the British involvement and complacency of the torture committed by British troops, and resulted in a huge development for British and International Human Rights Law.
