Detention in the 'War on Terror'

Explore the intricate dynamics of counter-terrorism policies with Detention in the 'War on Terror' by Fiona De Londras, published by Cambridge University Press in 2015. This compelling 328-page paperback delves into the detention practices of the US and the UK, examining how these measures have been met with responses from international human rights institutions and domestic apex courts. De Londras presents a thought-provoking argument that international human rights law may demonstrate greater resilience to counter-terrorist panic compared to domestic legislation. This book is essential reading for lawyers, political scientists, and anyone interested in the intersection of human rights and national security. Gain valuable insights into the legal frameworks that shape our understanding of terrorism and the protection of individual rights in a post-9/11 world.
