Human Rights

Europe's human rights court has dismissed the lawsuit filed by Saddam Hussein, as it falls outside of its jurisdiction.

Saddam had tried to sue the 21 European countries, whose troops had joined the US led coalition. He claimed that his arrest, detention and handover to Iraqi authorities for prosecution violated the European Convention on Human Rights.

Did Saddam care so much for the human rights of his own people, when he was in power?
