Human Rights in the 'War on Terror' by Richard Ashby Wilson
This volume brings together leading international lawyers, policy-makers, activists, and scholars in the field of human rights to evaluate the impact on human rights of the 'war on terror' as well as to develop a counter-terror strategy which takes human rights seriously.
'This volume makes a convincing case that it is not only possible but necessary to reconnect rights and security… Human Rights in the 'War on Terror' is an exceptionally useful and inspirational consideration of how countries under attack from terrorists might meet these assaults without betraying the fundamental values that make our liberal democracies worth fighting for in the first place.' Democratiya
