Mr Hilal Abdul-Razzaq, who has dual British and Iraqi citizenship, has been detained for on suspicion of being a member of a terrorist group involved in weapons smuggling and bomb attacks. But no charges have been brought.  R (Al-Skeini & Others) v Secretary of State for Defence (2005) This case before the Court of Appeal concerned whether the Human Rights Act 1998 applied to British forces operating in Iraq at the time. The Court held that the Act had extraterritorial effect where a public authority was found to have exercised extraterritorial jurisdiction on the application of authority of state agent principles. Rabinder Singh QC and Christine Chinkin appeared for the claimants.		Specialist Practice Areas Arbitration and Mediation Human Rights International Law Public Law
