Hicks’ story is recounted briefly here. He was apprehended in Afghanistan in November 2001, very soon after the invasion of that country by the US in the wake of the September 11 terrorist attacks, and was suspected of fighting on behalf of al-Qaeda, the Taliban, or both. He was detained at the facility in Guantanamo Bay from January 2002 until Mar...
Throughout most of his period of incarceration, Hicks was detained by the US rather than Australia. Furthermore, it is clear that the US breached Hicks’s human rights in a variety of ways. The US itself has since voided his convictionon the grounds that it was based on retrospective law, a clear breach of Article 15 of the ICCPR. As a prisoner seiz...
Counsel for Hicks claimed that Australia effectively aided and assisted the US in its mistreatment of Hicks in a moral, political and material sense. Certainly, the Howard government publicly supported the propriety of the Guantanamo Bay project, despite its obvious departure from international law. It was also a critic of Hicksthroughout (and sinc...
Interestingly, on the point of jurisdiction, the UNHRC found that Australia “was in a position to take positive measures to ensure that [Hicks] was treated in a manner consonant with the” ICCPR. That is, it found that Australia could have made diplomatic overtures to the US to secure the “early” return home of David Hicks, just as the UK had manage...
Counsel had argued that Hicks’ allegations of ill treatment by the US had never been properly investigated, so it was incumbent upon Australia to do so. The UNHRC did not accept this argument, and no such violation was found. A state’s duties regarding the prohibition on torture and ill treatment are quite strict. It is required to properly investi...
The complaints regarding the control orders were deemed to be inadmissible. Counsel for Hicks had claimed that the imposition of the control order had breached Hicks’ freedom of movement, his freedom of expression, his freedom of association, and his right to privacy. The UNHRC found that the complaints effectively related to the evaluation of fact...
Hicks served seven months of his sentence in Adelaide pursuant to a Prisoner Transfer Agreement between Australia and the US. A violation of Article 9(1) was found by the UNHRC majority by Australia in respect of that period of detention. The UNHRC majority found that “there was abundant information in the public domain” which cast extreme doubt on...
In outlining an appropriate remedy for Hicks, the UNHRC majority clearly paid some attention to the reasoning of the minority (as well as arguments from the Australian government) in regard to prisoner transfer agreements. Even though it found a violation, it found that the finding itself constituted “appropriate reparation” without, for example, a...
Hicks has been treated abominably by both the US and Australia. The UNHRC decision is a measure of vindication for him, though a weaker decision than he might have expected. The UNHRC ultimately focused on the lowest-hanging fruit of a violation of article 9(1) entailed in the seven months of the sentence served locally, rather than embarking upon ...
The UN Human Rights Committee found that Australia violated Hicks' right to be free from arbitrary detention in 2007, but rejected his other claims. The article analyzes the case and the role of the US, the aiding and assisting argument, and the duty to rescue.
