FOREWORD
The contributors to this volume focus on some of the most pressing and challenging
issues faced by governments and intergovernmental organizations in interpreting,
applying, and upholding these key principles in their counter-terrorist legislation,
policies, and responses. Its starting premise is both pragmatic and practical in
recognizing the realities and difficult choices that need to be made under the guise
v
Foreword
of the security imperative, whilst exploring how these may be met in a rule of law
compliant manner, which is the overarching theme of the book. Such an approach
is crucial in the context of counter-terrorism where, all too often, there is a ‘perva-
sive security-oriented discourse [which] promotes the sacrifice of fundamental
rights and freedoms in the name of eradicating terrorism. [However], [t]here is
no conflict between the duty of states to protect the rights of persons threatened
by terrorism and their responsibility to ensure that protecting security does not
undermine other rights’ (Berlin Declaration 2004).
One particular and troubling trend, which has been especially prevalent since the
terrorist attacks of 11 September 2001 (9/11), is what the International Commission
of Jurists described as the ‘normalization of the exceptional’ in its 2009 Report
‘Assessing Damage: Urging Action’. Governments are increasingly seeking to justify
the erosion of key rule of law principles on the basis of the exceptionality of the
particular terrorist threats which they are facing, even though applicable legal prin-
ciples, especially those of human rights and international humanitarian law, already
reflect and provide for exceptional security-related circumstances. Such a pervasive
security-orientated discourse often risks hard won fundamental rights and
freedoms in the name of tackling terrorism.
There has been a subtle, but profound shift in post 9/11 security discourse in many
parts of the world. This has sometimes resulted in the utilization of Orwellian
euphemisms, for example ‘coercive interrogation’, in an attempt to hide or justify
torture, cruel and inhuman treatment; or ‘extraordinary rendition’ to disguise the
reality of kidnapping suspected terrorists for the purpose of torture in an overseas
jurisdiction. It is especially concerning when established liberal democracies seek
openly to justify such departures from human rights norms, not least in terms of the
exceptionality of the terrorist threat.
The Club of Madrid is one of the WJP’s founding partner organizations. Its mem-
bership of over 80 democratic former Heads of State and Government from
56 countries, of which I am a member, is committed to strengthening democratic
values worldwide. It is especially encouraging to see that the current project is
developing key issues discussed during the International Summit on Democracy,
Terrorism and Security which the Club of Madrid convened in Madrid in March
2005, on the anniversary of the 2004 Madrid terrorist attacks. In particular, the
Summit was concerned with building a common agenda on how the community of
democratic nations may confront terrorism while preserving their commitments to
civil liberties and fundamental rights in the most effective manner possible.
As this book makes clear, much work remains to be done to ensure that human
rights standards are fully embedded within legislative, policy, and security decisions
and practice. Without this, approaches to counter-terrorism may continue signifi-
cantly to undermine rule of law principles and international legal standards which
vi

have been carefully developed over decades. The current project and its editorial
team, in partnership with Nottingham and Málaga Universities, the Club of
Madrid, Dr Silvia Casale, and an impressive group of distinguished contributors
are to be commended for making the case so clearly for why human rights and the
rule of law matter as much today as they ever have.

PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
The idea for this project was conceived during the World Justice Forum I in Vienna
in July 2008. The World Justice Project (WJP) is a multinational, multidisciplinary,
politically independent, initiative which aims to strengthen the rule of law world-
wide. Currently it is engaged in 16 legal and non-legal disciplines, in approximately
50 nations (http://www.worldjusticeproject.org/). During the Forum, a collabora-
tive project was initiated between Dr Katja Samuel and Professor Nigel White
(University of Nottingham, UK), the Club of Madrid and its former Secretary-
General, Fernando Perpiñá-Robert (80 former heads of state from more than
56 democratic countries committed to furthering democratic values worldwide),
and Dr Silvia Casale (formerly President of the Committee for the Prevention of
Torture (Council of Europe) and UN Subcommittee on Prevention of Torture),
later joined by Professor Ana María Salinas de Frías (University of Málaga, Spain).
The overarching aim of the project has been to examine what the rule of law means
in the specific context of counter-terrorism, under the overall umbrella of the WJP.
More specifically, it examines and reaffirms key legal principles which make up the
international rule of law framework for tackling terrorism (international human
rights, humanitarian, refugee, and criminal law); considers recent institutional and
state practices in relation to them; and seeks to be solution-orientated as to how
legitimate counter-terrorism security imperatives may be accommodated within,
rather than erode, these principles, including through the making of concrete rec-
ommendations. As such, in addition to its strong academic content, its practical
nature—which draws upon diverse expertise and insights from around the world—is
expected to appeal especially to governmental and institutional counter-terrorism
policy-makers and practitioners.
As a project, we have taken great care to ensure that a work of this size and effort
does not merely reiterate what has gone before, but rather genuinely contributes to
understanding terrorism and to formulating policy responses to it. With this in
mind, two workshops—involving approximately 40 experts from diverse states,
international organizations, and professional perspectives (including four Members
of the Club of Madrid: former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson; former Prime
Minister of Romania, Petre Roman; former President of Mauritius, Cassam Uteem;
and former Prime Minister of Latvia, Valdis Birkavs)—were held during June 2009
in order to set the framework of key questions and issues for further exploration.
One was hosted by Sheffield University, UK; and the other by the Club of Madrid

IT support provided during the course of the project by Nottingham and Sheffield
Universities. Lastly, and most certainly not least, we are indebted to our families
and friends for their endless patience, understanding, and support as we immersed
ourselves in the task at hand.
We sincerely hope that the current volume, which represents the efforts of many
over a three year period, might in some way assist those upon whom our national
and international security depends, who are often faced with difficult choices under
extreme pressure, to navigate successfully through the counter-terrorism security
and rule of law quagmire.
Finally, we dedicate this book to the memory of our friend and colleague, the late
Dr James Muiruri, and those whom he represents. James survived the al Qaeda ter-
rorist attack on the US Embassy in his home city of Nairobi, Kenya in 1998, only
to become the victim of a senseless extrajudicial killing by an off-duty policeman in
2009 whilst at home to celebrate his recent success in defending his doctoral thesis
on African regional security. He, like other victims of rule of law violations, is sorely
missed.

EDITORIAL NOTE
Since the book has been well advanced in its production phase, thereby not per-
mitting any significant changes to its text, there have been a number of important
developments which are noted here and in which light relevant sections of indi-
vidual chapters should be read.
The first are two important judgments of the European Court of Human Rights
(ECtHR) given in the cases of Al-Skeini and others v United Kingdom (App No
55721/07) ECtHR 7 July 2011 and Al-Jedda v United Kingdom (App No 27021/08)
ECtHR 7 July 2011 regarding the extra-territorial jurisdictional reach of the
ECHR.
The case of Al-Skeini concerned the deaths of six Iraqi civilians in Basra in 2003 at
a time when the UK was an occupying power. Previously, the UK House of
Lords had interpreted the extra-territorial jurisdictional reach of the European
Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in such a way that liability arose in relation
to the death of only one of the civilians, Baha Mousa, who died in the hands
of British servicemen whilst in military detention. The families of the other five
civilians, who had been killed by British soldiers during military operations, com-
plained to the ECtHR that no independent or thorough investigation had been
carried out in relation to the circumstances of their deaths. The ECtHR disagreed
with such a narrow interpretation of the ‘effective control’ test for establishing
jurisdiction under the ECHR in circumstances where civilians had been killed in
the course of the exercise of physical power and control by British soldiers engaged
in security operations, even in a state not party to the ECHR such as Iraq. In doing
so, it reaffirmed its own long standing principles (and clarified confusion regarding
the Convention’s jurisdictional reach post Bankovic and others v Belgium and 16
other Contracting States (App No 52207/99) (2007) 44 EHRR SE5) that liability
under the ECHR for human rights violations is not determined by the physical
location where they occur, but rather by whether the breaches occurred under the
power, authority, and control of a Contracting Party to the ECHR. It further sup-
ported the contention of the victims’ families that no independent and effective
investigation had been carried out by the UK authorities.
Similarly, in Al-Jedda—which involved the indefinite detention without charge of
a dual British/Iraqi citizen in a Basra facility run by British forces—the ECtHR
rejected the approach of the UK House of Lords which in 2007 had held that the
detention of Mr Al-Jedda was lawful because the UK Government had been
authorized so to act by UN Security Council Resolution 1546 (8 June 2004).
xiii
Editorial Note
Instead, the ECtHR held that the Security Council Resolution did not displace
the UK Government’s obligations to protect the right to liberty under Article 5
ECHR, reflecting its broader interpretative approach to jurisdiction.
Another recent development is the publication of the UK’s Report of the Baha
Mousa Public Inquiry on 8 September (<http://www.bahamousainquiry.org/
report/index.htm> accessed 28 September 2011). The Inquiry was set up by the
British Government to investigate and report on the circumstances surrounding
the death of the Iraqi civilian, Baha Mousa, in 2003 and the treatment of those
detained with him, by British military personnel. The Report was highly critical of
attitudes towards and the treatment of detainees, including the ‘gratuitous violence’
directed towards Baha Mousa which eventually led to his death. Similarly, it criti-
cized the ‘corporate failure’ by the Ministry of Defence to develop or disseminate
clear doctrine and policies regarding the correct handling of prisoners of war, not
least in terms of lawful and unlawful interrogation methods (including details of
the banned ‘five techniques’ of stress positions, deprivation of sleep, food or water,
and hooding). The Report contains 73 recommendations for the UK Ministry of
Defence regarding changes to operating instructions for handling civilian detain-
ees, the role of medical personnel, general and specific training for soldiers, including
tactical questioning and interrogation training. The Inquiry is a recent example
of steps that may be taken to ensure greater rule of law compliance in counter-
terrorism operations, not least in terms of affirming established human rights
norms and prohibited forms of ill treatment; and increased accountability of
Government and its officials and agents, although to date corresponding criminal
liability has only been established in relation to one of the perpetrators of the ill
treatment (Corporal Payne).
In reaction to the Baha Mousa Report, British military doctrine was revised and
re-promulgated by the Ministry of Defence in October 2011 as UK Ministry of
Defence, ‘Joint Doctrine Publication—Captured Persons (CPERS)’ (October
2011) JDP 1–10 (2nd edn). This streamlines and simplifies procedures regarding
all CPERS, retaining the categories of POW, RP (IAC only), internees, and detain-
ees. Article 5 tribunals (IAC only) or analogous tribunals must be convened in all
cases of doubt as to status; the POW Determination of Status Regulations 1958 are
now officially ‘obsolete’, but new regulations to replace them have not yet been
drawn up; all CPERS must at all times be treated consistently with Article 75 API
(see especially Chapter 17).
Finally, in June 2011, the Organization of the Islamic Conference changed its name
to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, although it has retained its original
abbreviated name form of ‘OIC’. (See ‘Astana Declaration: Peace, Cooperation
and Development’, adopted by the thirty-eighth Session of the OIC Council of
Foreign Ministers (Astana—Republic of Kazakhstan, 28–30 June 2011)).
