Reihe: Studies in Intercultural Human Rights

Acts of terror on a global scale are straining to the breaking point the due process guarantees of the legal systems of modern democracies. In unequalled breadth and depth, this book analyzes the rights of persons suspected of a crime, in normal times and emergencies, from the pre-trial phase to the trial and the post-trial period under all the universal and regional human rights treaty regimes, pertinent customary international law, general principles of law, international humanitarian law as well as the hybrid procedures developed by international criminal tribunals.

The book then presents a detailed analysis of United States’ due process guarantees, in peacetime and in war, and the executive, legislative and judicial responses to the attacks of September 11, 2001. Professor Pati appraises the American actions in terms of international law’s due process guarantees and proposes courses of action which can better defend a public order of human dignity.

Zielgruppe

All those interested in the criminal due process of law and its global and regional standards, as well as in the treatment and adjudication of suspects in the global struggle against terrorism. It would be of particular interest to scholars and decision-makers in the field, to legislators and their advisors, other government officials, the military, the media, and experts as well as practitioners in the field of human rights, military law and criminal procedure.
