Abstract

1218

This article provides an in-depth study of mass murder, with particular reference to its legal regime from a human rights perspective. In addition to describing the practical difficulties of criminalising this practice, it analyses the UN Principles on this issue and the Minnesota Protocol, and then examines the right to life as enshrined in both the European Convention on Human Rights and the Inter-American Convention on Human Rights and the attempts of their courts to protect it against targeted killings.
