In the United States, according to Amnesty International at least 16 of those executed between 1985 and 2001 had been defended by lawyers who were incompetent or who failed to mount an adequate case for the defence.

AMs will get the final vote on the question of what they should be called when they debate the legislation.

2.4 The complainant argues that he has exhausted domestic remedies.

She contends that the criteria established in article 3 of the Convention have been fulfilled.

He contends that article 5, paragraph 2, of the Covenant precludes the State party from contending that First Nations do not, in international law, have such status, for it has been conferred on them by domestic law.

Counsel argued that the State party had not supplied this information to the Committee.

It is thus alleged that the right to legal counsel was violated.

The authors contend that the appeal court wrongly believed they did not want to adduce any evidence.

4.3 Thirdly, the State party argues that domestic remedies were not exhausted.

The authors contend that the Decree is null and void from a constitutional point of view.

The State party argues that in his absence, the court was able to examine the case on the basis of the written arguments provided.

4.5 Fourthly, the State party argues that the authors' claims are not supported by, or do not correspond to, rights protected under the Covenant.

Firstly, the State party argues that a corporation does not enjoy the rights protected by the Covenant.

They claim to have been the victims of judicial errors and violations of the right to a defence and the principle of adversarial proceedings.

It contends that the extracts from newspapers referred to in the author's comments cannot be viewed as a substantiation of his claims about his innocence.

4.4 The State party rejects the author's argument that the application of section 101a reduced his possibilities to defend himself before the Committee, arguing that the guarantees of article 14 of the Covenant only apply to appeals at the national level.

4.6 The State party asserts that the communication does not meet the minimum requirements for compatibility with article 22 of the Convention.

4.3 The State party argues that there is no indication that the reservation itself is inadmissible.

In his cassation appeal against this judgement, the author contended that his defence relating to the tapped telephone calls had till not been responded to.

10.6 As to the State party's argument that he can fish with a recreational licence, the author asserts that he is not a recreational fisher.

7.2 Contrary to his initial submission, the author now contends that no charges have been filed against the suspects of the alleged assault to date.

The responses to the list of issues and questions and the reports asserted that women could raise the plea of unconstitutionality in cases of alleged discrimination.

Thus, the State party argues, no such obligation may be inferred from article 9.

2.5 On appeal, the author's defence counsel argued that not all records of the tapped telephone calls, which should have been destroyed pursuant to section 125h, paragraph 2, had in fact been destroyed.

And he defended his unusual approach in talking about relations with Kim.

11.8 Counsel argues that the reduction in sentence does not affect how the complainant has been treated, is being and will be treated until release.

2.4 The author contends that charges against him were fabricated, and that accusations against him were very general.

Some participants argued that oftentimes foreign direct investment did not benefit the poor.

According to the authors, the fact that the provincial court concluded that the questions which their defence counsel proposed to put to the defence experts were superfluous means that the court acknowledged that there had been no equality in the questioning of the defence experts.

It contends that the complainant's return to Bangladesh would not be in violation of article 3 of the Convention.

The right to a legal defence, as set forth in article 8 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, was also allegedly violated.

The source also stated that Ms. Bakhmina was not allowed to have a defence lawyer present during her interrogation.

It argues that the complainant should have appealed against the royal decrees of 1999 that granted the pardons.

The complainant's case proves it, the State party argues, as his curriculum vitae shows.

In any event, counsel argues that the complainant's present condition does not establish how he was treated in the past.

4.11 Lastly, the State party argues that the complainant may apply for permanent residence on humanitarian grounds.

He argues that, ultimately, any discrimination can be undone by downgrading the position of the group that is treated more favourably.

He appeared in court Saturday, where he declared himself not guilty, for sure when asked his plea, reported the network.

3.3 The author contends that the unilateral abrogation of the CHCAs violates article 27 of the Covenant.

He has moreover argued that fishing with a licence constitutes a privilege, whereas he claims to fish as of right.

The applicants argued that the lifetime ban violated sections 7, 12 and 15 of the Charter and that they should obtain a suspension from its application to them.

3.1 The complainant contends that there are substantial grounds for believing that she would be subjected to torture if forced to return to Bangladesh.

His wife contended that, if returned, she would be detained for many years, as the complainant's wife.

He contends that it has been satisfactorily established that the complainant was in fact subjected to torture after his return.

He argued that the inconsistencies in his evidence were not such as to make his testimony unreliable.
