Hi there,

So I have an assignment to write a legal memo in one of my law units.

The Instructions are as follow and this is only a background to my assignment task.

Instructions:

Congratulations on your new position as a Lawyer in the Attorney-General's Department! Your expertise in international human rights law is crucial as we monitor developments in the field. The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) plays a significant role in shaping international human rights jurisprudence, even for countries like Australia that are not bound by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

Task:

1. I have to Select a Case: Choose one key case decided by the ECHR in 2023 from the following list: https://prd- echr.coe.int/documents/d/echr/cases_list_2023_eng?download=true

2. Prepare a Memo: I have to Write a memo addressing the following: - Factual Background: Briefly summarise the key facts and issues of the selected case.

- Legal Basis and Reasoning: Explain the legal basis for the ECHR's decision and the court's reasoning. Identify the specific articles of the ECHR that were at issue.

- Relevance to Australia: Assess the potential influence of this ECHR decision on the interpretation and application of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) in Australia. Consider:

- Does the ECHR's interpretation align with or diverge from existing interpretations of the ICCPR by

the Human Rights Committee or other relevant bodies? - Could this decision influence future interpretations or applications of the ICCPR in Australia? - Are there any specific provisions of the ICCPR that might be impacted?

- Supporting Materials: Justify your assessment by referencing relevant legal materials, such as:

- General Comments issued by the Human Rights Committee - Views adopted by the Human Rights Committee in individual cases - Academic commentary or analyses of the ECHR decision - Other relevant international human rights instruments or jurisprudence

Important Considerations:

- Focus on the implications for the interpretation and application of the ICCPR in Australia, not on Australian domestic law.

- Ensure your memo is professionally written and formatted.

My Questions are structure and outline of what my memo should look like and what sources to include for my assignment. Please Help. The Assignment itself is worth 30%. Thank you in advance.
