  9. Force-Feeding of Prisoners and Detainees on Hunger Strike

    Force-Feeding of Prisoners and Detainees on Hunger Strike

    Right to Self-Determination versus Right to Intervention
    Book | 1st edition 2012 | United Kingdom | Pauline Jacobs
    Hunger strikes are not an uncommon phenomenon where people are deprived of their liberty. If the hunger strike is prolonged, the government, but also prison officials, physicians and nursing staff, can feel a particular urge – for a variety of reasons – to intervene through the use of force-feeding. Where prisoners or detainees are on hunger strike, the dilemma between, on the one hand, the responsibility of the State and caretakers involved in the health of the hunger striker and, on the other hand, the individual right to self-determination of the prisoner or detainee himself,, is most intense. This book is the result of an in-depth study into the human rights aspects of the issue of force-feeding prisoners and detainees on hunger strike, from a European and international perspective.
