In November 2005, the UK Court of Appeals upheld deportation orders against four people with HIV who claimed that removal to their home countries, where they would be unable to obtain treatment, violated the rights to privacy and to be free from inhuman treatment under the European Convention on Human Rights. The Court of Appeal affirmed that only in exceptional circumstances could persons with HIV rely on the European Convention to avoid deportation. None of the applicants' circumstances were found to be exceptional. The decision reflects the UK courts' narrow approach to interpretation of the Convention, an interpretation that makes it unlikely that the vast majority of persons living with HIV/AIDS will be able to successfully challenge deportation orders even when they face illness and death if expelled. |
