“Claims arising from the deaths of soldiers on active service abroad alleging breach of the right to life in article 2 of the Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms fell outside the United Kingdom’s jurisdiction under the Convention. However claims in negligence for failing to provide safe equipment and technology to serving soldiers who suffered death or injury were justiciable.”
