"Well, your honor," replied the pilot, " I can risk neither my men, nor myself, nor yourself, in so long a voyage on a boat of scarcely twenty tons, at this time of the year. Besides, we would not arrive in time, for it is sixteen hundred and fifty miles from Hong Kong to Yokohama." "Only sixteen hundred," said Mr. Fogg. "It is the same thing." Fix took a good long breath. " But," added the pilot, " there might perhaps be a means to arrange it otherwise." Fix did not breathe any more. "How?" asked Phileas Fogg. " By going to Nagasaki, the southern extremity of Japan, eleven hundred miles, or only to Shanghai, eight Imndred miles from Hong Kong. In this last journey, we wold not be at any distance from the Chinese coast, which v uld be a great advantage, all the more so that the currents run to the north." "Pilot," replied Phileas Fogg, "I must lake the American mail steamer at Yokohama, and not at Shanghai or Nagasaki." "Why not? "replied the pilot " The San Francisco stewnet does not start from Yokohama. She stops there and at Nagasaki, but her port of departure is Shanghai." You are certain of what you are saying? " "Certain." "And when does the steamer leave Shanghai? "On the llth, atseven oclock in the evening. We have then four days before us. Four days, that is ninety-six hours, and with an average of eight knots an hour, if we have good luck, if the wind keeps to the southeast, if the sea is calm, we can make the eight hundred miles which separate us from Shanghai." "And you can leave--" " la an hour, time enough to buy my provisions and hoist sail." " It is a bargain--you are the master of the boat? " " Yes, John Bunsby, master of the Tankadere."

Download or read book Standards of Effective Investigation of Torture and Other Ill-treatment in the Jurisprudence of the European Court of Human Rights and the UN Treaty bodies written by Vadym Chovgan and published by Danish Institute against Torture . This book was released on 2021-11-01 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper explores the international jurisprudence related to effective investigation of torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Effective investigation is a positive obligation that states have towards victims of human rights violations. Failing to fulfil it means denying protection to the victims, which impairs their right to obtain redress. However, investigating torture and ill-treatment is not an obligation of results, but of means – the state must take all necessary and reasonable steps that may lead to identifying the perpetrator and establishing the relevant facts. For the investigation to be regarded as effective, it should in principle be capable of leading to identification of those responsible and to the establishment of the facts. The paper covers the standards of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) and the UN treaty bodies: the Committee against Torture (CAT) and the Human Rights Committee (HRC). It contains selected highlights of the jurisprudence on effective investigations developed by these bodies. In addition, this note also briefly describes the admissibility criteria for individual complaints on torture and other ill-treatment submitted to the ECtHR and the UN treaty bodies. It contains practical recommendations on how to raise the chances to get a complaint on ineffective investigation of torture admitted by the ECtHR. These recommendations were collected through personal interviews with lawyers practicing before the ECtHR. The purpose of this publication is to provide a summary of key international standards on effective investigation of torture and ill-treatment from a practical point of view. To this end, it provides specific examples of what shortcomings in investigations would be considered in violation of the standard of effective investigation. These examples can be used by lawyers and civil society activists to build cases in the international jurisdictions that consider complaints on torture and ill-treatment, in particular the UN and European Court of Human Rights. The paper was inspired by the discussions on key challenges in building successful litigations on effective investigation of torture and other ill-treatment faced by DIGNITY’s civil society partners working in Ukraine. However, it is may also be relevant for the use in other countries under the jurisdiction of the ECtHR and/or the UN Committee Against Torture and the UN Human Rights Committee.

Download or read book Upholding the Prohibition of Torture written by Andrea Carcano and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-05-25 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the right of any individual not to be subjected to torture. Although almost universally prohibited, torture still manifests itself in the conduct of several States around the world, including Member States of the Council of Europe. The European Court of Human Rights has, since its inception, entered numerous findings of torture. Mindful of the urgency of the effectiveness of the international legal prohibition of torture, this book examines and critically appraises the practice of the European Court on torture. Through the analysis of leading cases and the legal issues ensuing from them, the book explores the contribution of the European Court to the clarification of the applicable law, illustrating developments of legal significance, exploring some still contentious issues, and stressing the several achievements as well as some still questionable outcomes. The volume offers knowledge and analytical tools to students and researchers, but also to lawyers and practitioners as it collects in a single volume significant portions of jurisprudence distilled from what are often lengthy and detailed judgments, followed by a reflection on the legal issues arising in a specific case or common to a number of them.

Download or read book The Treatment of Prisoners under International Law written by Nigel Rodley and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2011-04-07 with total page 750 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the third edition of the pioneering work that has become the standard text in the field. The first edition was one of the earliest to establish that the newly-developing international law of human rights could be set down as any other branch of international law. It also incorporates the complementary fields of international humanitarian law and international criminal law, while addressing the problems associated with their interaction with human rights law. The book is more than a descriptive analysis of the field. It acknowledges areas of unclarity or where developments may be embryonic. Solutions are offered. Recent developments have confirmed the value of solutions proposed in this edition and the previous one. Central to most of the chapters is the human rights norm of most salience in the treatment of prisoners, namely, the prohibition of torture and cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment. The early chapters focus on the period of first detention, when detainees are most at risk of having information or confessions, however unreliable, extracted by unlawful means. Voices contemplating the legitimacy of such treatment to combat terrorism have been heard in the wake of the atrocities of 11 September 2001. The book finds that the evidence clearly suggests that the absolute prohibition of such treatment remains firm. Other chapters deal with problems of poor prison conditions and of certain extraordinary penalties, notably corporal and capital punishment. A chapter explores ethical codes for members of professions capable of inflicting or preventing the prohibited behaviour (police and medical and legal professionals). Chapters are also devoted to the extreme practice of enforced disappearance and the contribution of the new convention on this phenomenon, as well as to extra-legal executions.
