| Popis: | Anti-libidinal interventions are used in several jurisdictions to reduce male sex offenders’ libido. One common objection to these interventions holds that when offenders are either required to undergo them or offered to undergo them as an alternative to continued incarceration, anti-libidinal interventions violate recipients’ human rights. In this article, I examine this objection, which I call the human rights objection to anti-libidinal interventions, in relation to the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR). Specifically, I examine the objection to anti-libidinal interventions in relation to Articles 3, 8, and 12 ECHR, which are the rights proponents of the human rights objection have identified as most relevant. I argue that the human rights objection in its current form fails to establish that anti-libidinal interventions violate recipients’ ECHR rights in respect of all these Articles. |
