Archie Battersbee's family has been blocked from taking its case to the United Nations by the Court of Appeal.
The family argues that withdrawing treatment is contrary to the boy's clearly expressed wishes.
These international obligations say states must take all necessary measures to ensure disabled people enjoy equal rights and that governments should do all they can to prevent the deaths of children and young people.The High Court had found that Archie cannot feel pain and therefore his present treatment regime does not cause him any pain or distress.
The family's legal team argues that withdrawing ventilation will therefore result in his certain death. Following the Court of Appeal ruling on Monday, the High Court order for treatment removal had been stayed for two days pending any application to international tribunals.Meanwhile, Archie's father, Paul Battersbee, who is aged in his 50s, has left hospital after being taken ill shortly before the Court of Appeal ruling.
