The Human Rights Committee has held that a court-ordered medical examination to assess the competency of a party to participate in legal proceedings violated her right to privacy under art 17 of the ICCPR. The order violated the ICCPR because the German court based its decision solely on the author’s procedural conduct and written submissions and did not hear from the author personally before making the order.
