The Human Rights of Anti-Terrorism

by Nicole LaViolette (Editor), Craig Forcese (Editor)

The Human Rights of Anti-terrorism contains timely explorations of some of the most important issues facing the international community today. The book is a collection of papers by internationally- recognized scholars and thinkers from across Canada and around the world to a June 2006 colloquium on Human Rights and Anti-terrorism held in Ottawa. The colloquium grappled with the interrelationship between anti-terrorism, human rights, and international humanitarian law. The Ottawa Principles on Anti-Terrorism and Human Rights , which grew out of deliberations at the colloquium, are included here along with ten chapters which not only supplement and explain the foundations of the Ottawa Principles , but also provide readers with substantive critiques of topics related to human rights and anti-terrorism more generally.
