Which court ruled in Harman's favor in Harman v United Kingdom?

  • Supreme Court

  • International Criminal Court

  • High Court

  • European Court of Human Rights

Answer

The European Court of Human Rights ruled in Harman's favor, upholding his right to freedom of expression. The court found that the UK government's decision to ban his book was a violation of his rights under the European Convention on Human Rights. The court held that the UK government had not demonstrated a sufficiently pressing social need to justify the ban and that the ban was therefore disproportionate and unjustified.
