Counter-terrorism and the Detention of Suspected Terrorists
«
"Macken looks into what international law has to say about heads of state ordering anyone they want to be hunted down and imprisoned with no more justification than declaring that they might someday commit a terrorist act. He covers the background, history, and practice of preventive detention; the right to personal liberty in international human rights law as a legal framework for considering state preventive detention laws; the preventive detection of suspected terrorists pursuant to a state of emergency in international human rights law; legitimate and illegitimate purpose of preventive detention; and a model law for the detention of suspected terrorists within a criminal law framework."—Book News
