Preventive Detention of Terror Suspects : A New Legal Framework, Paperback by...

* Item Description

This book offers a comprehensive and critical analysis of the preventive detention of terror suspects under domestic criminal law, the law of armed conflict and international human rights law. Th looks comparatively at the law in a number of key jurisdictions including the USA, the UK, Israel, France, India, Australia and Canada before comparing this to preventive detention under the law of armed conflict and various human treaties. Th demonstrates that the procedures governing the use of preventive detention are deficient in each framework, and instead puts forward a new approach to preventive detention which respects both human rights and maintains security.
