The United States has ratified the ICCPR and signed but not ratified the American Convention and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, treaties that all prohibit the imposition of the death penalty on juvenile offenders.

Indeed, the United States's actions during and immediately after the drafting of the ICCPR and the American Convention lend support to the conclusion that it recognized the existence of the emerging norm.

 Solicitor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Solicitors who are being disciplined by the Law Society can be suspended from the roll under Section 12 of the Solicitors Act 1974 or even struck off, which prevents them acting as a solicitor.

As a general rule letters and communications are protected by legal privilege if they are: between a client and his solicitor; made confidentially; and written to or by a solicitor in his professional capacity for the purpose of requesting or receiving legal advice.
The question of whether E-mail communication attracts privilege or is in breach of the Solicitors' duty of confidentiality cannot be answered conclusively, until the UK Courts have delivered a judgement on this point.
Using encryption seems to be a service solicitors should offer their clients as it prevents unintentional disclosure, prevents arguments about an implied waiver of privilege for being transmitted via a public medium and thus ensures that a solicitor has complied with his duty of confidentiality.
