In this indispensable book, distinguished activist lawyer Francis
A. Boyle sounds an impassioned clarion call to citizen action
against Bush administration policies, both domestic and
international. Especially since the Reagan Administration, hundreds
of thousands of Americans have used non-violent civil resistance to
protest against elements of U.S. policy that violate basic
principles of international law, the United States Constitution,
and human rights. Such citizen protests have led to an
unprecedented number of arrests and prosecutions by federal, state,
and local governments around the country. Boyle, who has spent his
career advising and defending civil resisters, explores how
international law can be used to question the legality of specific
U.S. government foreign and domestic policies. He focuses
especially on the aftermath of 9/11 and the implications of the war
on Afghanistan, the war on terrorism, the war on Iraq, the doctrine
of preventive warfare, and the domestic abridgement of civil
rights. Written for concerned citizens, activists, NGOs, civil
resisters, their supporters, and their lawyers, Protesting Power
provides the best legal and constitutional arguments to support and
defend civil resistance activities. Including a number of
compelling excerpts from his own trial appearances as an expert
witness and as counsel, the author offers inspirational and
practical advice for protesters who find themselves in court. This
invaluable book stands alone as the only guide available on how to
use international law, constitutional law, and the laws of war to
defend peaceful non-violent protesters against governmental
policies that are illegal and criminal.
