[edit] Minimal age to be punishable

The criminal age in england is ten. Many children are detained at that age. Is this usual in Europe and isnt it a breach of childrens rights to childehood

I'm unaware of the specifics of British law, and what you exactly refer to as the "criminal age".

In France, the procedure for judging minors (< 18) is different from that of judging adults. Prison sentences can be handed for minors as young as 13, but that is only in rather exceptional circumstances. The handling of violent juvenile delinquents is an ongoing topic of controversy.

In the Netherlands the minimal age for prosecution is 12. From 12-16 always juvenile court, from 16-18 it depends. --Otto 19:58, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

I hope there is a place for the following information somewhere on Wikipedia. Any Ideas?

[edit] European Court of Human Rights Denying Human Rights to Access Information.

European Court of Human Rights Denying Human Rights to Access Information.

There seems to be nothing in the European Convention on Human Rights protecting human rights to access to information - at least any rights to information regarding the basis for decision of the Three Judge Committee to reject a complaint brought before the European Court of Human Rights. Note that a typical rejection letter from The European Court of Human Rights states that following the Three Judge Committee decision to reject a complaint, the person bringing the complaint before the European Court of Human Rights has no right to any specific information regarding the decision of the courts, no right to a reply to further correspondence regarding the case and no right to effective remedy against the decision of the Committee. A logical step towards guaranteeing human rights would be to bring this to public attention in hope to amend the Convention and include decision to protect human rights to access information regarding the Court's decisions. Making sure that following all articles of the Convention are to be expected not only by all nations but also by the European Court of Human Rights itself. For instance, the lack of application of Article 13 of the convention by the European Court of Human Rights to its own behaviour is highly questionable - the fact that the Court of Human Rights denies people any effective remedy against its decisions rejecting cases or finding them unfounded. This in combination with denying access to any specific information regarding the basis for Committee's decision to do so is reminiscent of courts under Stalin.

[edit] "Appeals" to the European Court of Human Rights

Could somebody have a look at Talk:Cour de cassation#"Appeals" to the European Court of Human Rights ? Apokrif 18:56, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] unfair on the UK

To have 4 out of the six "other cases" on it, it makes us seem like some brutal reigme. Let's have more of a spead, please? 84.70.127.136 18:46, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Explicit Contradiction

• In the first section, third paragraph: The court consists of a number of judges equal to the number of States Parties, which currently stand at forty-six.
• Now, look at the list.

• 47. Mr Michael O’Boyle, Deputy Registrar (Irish)
• The seat of judge in respect of Monaco is currently vacant.

47+1=48>46

Could someone fix this? samwaltz 00:41, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. The Registrar and Deputy Registrar are not judges, even though they are included in the composition of the Court: they are appointed differently and have mostly administrative tasks. I edited the page, it should make more sense now. SFinamore 11:20, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
