The US led programme of extraordinary rendition created profound
challenges for the international system of human rights protection
and rule of law. This book examines the efforts of authorities in
Europe and the US to re-establish rule of law and respect for human
rights through the investigation of the program and its outcomes.
The contributions to this volume examine the supranational and
national inquiries into the US CIA-led extraordinary rendition and
secret detention programme in Europe. The book takes as a starting
point two recent and far-reaching developments in delivering
accountability and establishing the truth: First, the publication
of the executive summary of the US Senate Intelligence Committee
(Feinstein) Report, and second, various European Court of Human
Rights judgments regarding the complicity of several state parties
and the incompatibility of those actions with the European
Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR). The
collective volume provides the first stock-taking review of the
state of affairs in the quest for accountability, and identifies
significant obstacles in going even further -- as international law
demands. It will be vital reading for students and scholars in a
wide range of areas, including international relations,
international law, public policy and counter-terrorism studies.
